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

TWC founder and global warming skeptic advocates suing Al Gore to expose 'the fraud of global warming.'

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.”

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.”

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.
