Weather Channel Founder Blasts Network; Claims It Is 'Telling Us What to Think'

The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.
Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.
“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,†Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.â€
The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.
Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.†He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.
“ have a feeling this is the opening,†Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.â€
Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the “scare†of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.
Stuart James and Paul Detrick also contributed to this report.

I heard this guy some while ago on a local radio show. It wasn't Glenn Beck(who's not local) and it wasn't Vicki McKenna(local conservative) it was the guy who claims to be moderate because he's afraid of being called a liberal, Mitch Henk(local moderate afraid of being called a liberal even though he is) and darned if this John Coleman guy didn't say pretty much the same things he's saying here and probably said on Glenn Beck.
Imagine that.

there's supposed to be snow in Texas today .. that's fairly late for snow in the Southwest, but who are we to judge? According to Heidi Cullen and the far left, those of us who have witnessed weather and climates during our lifetimes dont know squat.

I remember we got about two inches of snow in Dallas on my mother's birthday in 1962. Her birthday was March 29th. :)

that is pretty late.. we have pics of a few inches here in Seattle in April... which is also way past the season.
i keep hearing that "global warming doesnt mean it doesnt snow" from the left over and over. i guess they dont consider snow in China and Israel and Iraq part of a weather cycle? or is that 'climate cycle'...?

It was a freak weather system. It is always funny to see snow on green grass and trees.
