What Ever Happened to the Lawsuit Brought by Weather Channel Founder Against Al Gore over Global Warming?
Remember when Weather Channel founder and global warming skeptic, John Coleman, said he and 30,000 “scientists” were going to sue Al Gore for perpetrating the “greatest scam in American history”? If not, Coleman turned a few heads last year with a barrage of op-eds, conference engagements and television appearances saying that 30,000 scientists (only 9,000 of whom actually have PhDs) wanted to sue Al Gore over the fraud.
Coleman’s arguments rest on the tired arguments that global warming is a ‘left-wing conspiracy’ made up by the UN and the environmental movement to justify a world government and a massive redistribution of wealth [yawn]. Unfortunately, Coleman’s scientific credibility is overwhelmed by his political bias.
Needless to say, conservative media outlets had a field day with the news, reporting it as if Coleman had already found a court to hear his dubious legal challenge.
So, what ever happened to that lawsuit anyway? To the best of my knowledge, nothing.
The fact that John Coleman plans to sue Al Gore and others ( and its about time Al “Henny Penny” Gore who has made million off false or inaccurate claims) does not mean the credibility of Mr. Colemen or other should be in question after all they are expects on the subject and Al Gore was just a Vice President who needed a platform for when he got out of office. Has anyone seen Al Gore’s home and all the lights he burns nightly.
Global Warming or what ever the flavor of the month pinheads are calling it these day is a combination of many things and rather than only man made only. The earth has been warming up since it has been in existance and should by the laws of nature. More power to Mr Coleman.
Well put Steve… I especially like the part about how the “earth has been warming up since it has been in existance (sic) and should by the laws of nature.” Science be damned I say!!!
Just to really stretch your mind a little, neither Mr. Coleman or Al Gore are “expects” (sic) in climate science.
I’ll leave you with the task of actually going out and finding a climate scientist and asking him or her about climate change… What’s that? You couldn’t be bothered talking to a “pinhead”?
Well, neither can I. ‘bye now.
Did you take a moment to think what you were going to write before you wrote it?
‘ONLY’ 9,000 have PHD’s?! Is that all? That number in itself isn’t substantial to you? And so what if 20,000 don’t have PHD’s? Have you ever heard of Nikola Tesla or Charles Darwin?
Do you realize that the United Kingdom doesn’t allow the religion of Global Warming to be taught in schools?
If Gore and his cronies are so sure of their ’science’ why not debate their critics head on and let the public witness an academic defense of each position.
The fact that Gore and Global Warming proponents will not confront their critics is typical behavior of other scam artists. Sylvia Browne and Uri Geller also make a habit of ducking their skeptics.
Global Warming is complete and utter garbage. Its a way to tax air, nothing more.
“Coleman’s arguments rest on the tired arguments…” Yada, yada. So the definition of tired is that you are tired of hearing it?
How does the current scandal fit into your definition of “tired arguments.”
How does the fact that Chris Jones and Michael Mann are both under investigation for possible fraud sit with your definition of “tired?”
Are you still in the boat that believes the leaked CRU emails have absolutely no effect on the hypothesis that CO2 is causing AGW? Even though the pillar of the CO2 induced AGW argument rests firmly on the premise that a measurable change in temperatures has been recorded and that the increase can be shown to be “unprecedented.”
I think it is a great idea to sue Al Gore and after he is found guilty let’s deport him to France!.
