Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’ (Can it get any better than that?)
November 12th, 2007 Posted in Sanity Check
One of my favorite headlines today was found in USA Today titled, Scam, scam, scam, scam . . . I am not sure it can get better than that. The article is about a blog post by John Coleman, the creator and founder of Weather.com, regarding his theories behind Global Warming. You can see his full post on his website ICECAP. I find this most interesting because it won’t be talked about much.
… Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.
I have always been a skeptic of our self-centered, all-powerful opinion of ourselves when in reality we are simply billions of tiny little creatures who believe we are the end all of the universe. I don’t know for sure, but I can’t recall which species caused the end of the ice-age. Talk about global warming… I thing the ice caps got a little smaller then and there wasn’t much man-made ozone emissions at the time.
On the other hand, I am, simply stated, ‘uneducated’ in this arena, so you shouldn’t listen to me in any way. And so, my opinion aside (ya right), it is good reading. There aren’t many willing to put forth another opinion against the popular and powerful. And when they do offer that opinion, they are typically dismissed as off kilter. Well John, you may be crazy, but blog on… blog on.
