The View From the Right
Filed under: Politik > Al Gore
John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel who now works as an on-camera weatherman in San Diego, California,
spoke out last week to say that Al Gore and the United Nations' global warming claims are a bunch of baloney.
From founder of a network to weatherman? Kinda sounds like a step down to us!
Maybe he made loads of money from the sale of the channel and just really likes weather reporting?
You can click here to read Coleman's diatribe.
However, in re. Coleman's claims — are they truly objective counter points to Gore's Inconvenient Truth.
Coleman's claims reeked 'Republican-right' arguments to 'Democrat-left' Gore's assertions (i.e. Coleman appears to support flinging the environmentalists out of the way to get at America's oil sources and build more oil refineries across the land). Plus, he gave a shout out to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for sharing his P.O.V. with the masses.
Are his assertions that Gore and the UN manipulated their scientific data to advance the global warming theory right on?
The 9,000 scientists he says signed a petition refuting the global warming claims — are they totally free from any influence from the oil industry?
Can we really pump shit loads of CO2 in the air and it not hurt us, like Coleman argues?
Are there objective 'non-partisan' voices out there on the issue?

gross
second…
I think Mother Nature is PISSED and is cleaning house!!!
first!
this remind's me of the time it was raining like the dickin's and my rain gutter's were plugged up so I went out on the roof to stick a broom handle or what not down to clear them and to my surprise i stumbled upon a squirell nest full of egg's. not wanting to harm them,I took them inside and called my neighbor so he could loan me his pet anaconda to incubate them and in about six week's we had the cutest clutch of baby squirell's runnning around the house and the snake was a great mother to those squirell's. she let them nurse all the time, she would just lay there and let them suckle and she would groom them and lick them. It was the cutest thing you would ever see. well, gotta go. I have a rally to attend at the intersection of florence and normandie in los angeles because I think rodney king is about to get into some kind of trouble and I want to be there when it start's and then we will go over to my friend's house to feed his roller pidgeon's
John Coleman can suck a dick.
Most of the rest of the world takes global warming seriously, but here in the USA it's just been politicized beyond belief. It's time to start thinking outside of the American box on this one.
al Gore, he makes money by selling polution credits. Follow the money. He is full of bull. Please name any study besides hype in the papers that shows global warming. We just had the coldest winter with the most snow in recorded history. Put down the pipe and read a book!
There is some truth to Coleman's claims. It's worth looking into.
yuk
Wow. A shockingly relevant and interesting post on ur site. What a surprise. keep up the good work.
PEREZ you look like a squished squash..
UR SO UGLY!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!
this isn't worth a response
PEACE! BITCH!
Global Warming IS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT! That "documentary" was bullshit! All that crap was computer generated!
I can't believe that there are still people who think global warming is a figment of the imagination….seriously. $*#@ing wingnuts.
John Coleman was a weatherman for years in Chicago before moving on and founding the Weather Channel.
nada mucho here
i hate him
As a geologist, I dont believe in global warming, if you take a look at the billions of years this planet has been around, most of the time all of the continents have been tropical, and we have been in an ice-age period for the last 20000 years, give or take… so if we are in deed coming out of this ice-age period then its only expected the earths mean temperatures would be rising as well… sure we may be causing this process to happen at an acceleratred rate but truely I believe its inevitable…
this is pretty obvious. look at which side has the most motivation$ to lie about their position. what the fuck does Gore have to gain by standing up for something that's long been considered kinda geeky (caring about the environment)?
first?
No one besides Fox will even give Coleman a shot on their networks, not CNN, not MSNBC. How are we supposed to hear all viewpoints if MSM is censoring what we hear? I've read a LOT on global warming, and my opinion is Gore followed the money. Asshole.
in 20 years we will look back on Al Gore and shake our heads…he duped us all and won a Nobel Peace Prize in the process. Take a look at his personal consumption of energy at his residence and decide for yourselves. In the end, what on Earth does Coleman have to gain except to give his insight. He made his millions. Now he can go back to whatever the hell he wants to do and say! Just ask yourselves - do you want to be held prisoners by the nutcases in the Middle East, Venezuela and the scary little man in Iran????? If you have kids, what does the future hold for them? Let's get the oil in the gulf, off shore and in ANWAR and while we are no longer so dependent on the foreign oil, find and develop new sources of clean energy for the future. Until then, what else is going to power the millions of vehicles on the road. Stop making this political and THINK IT THRU!!!
Anyone that is trying to convince the masses of global warming and trying to develop new technologies to counter this problem are major targets for BIG OIL! B.O. is most likely targeting and paying off any company that makes significant advancements that could effect their bottom line in a big way!! If they don't agree to take the buyout then when their company goes public they are swallowed up by the Giants and the Technology is Shelved and forgotton about!!
Re: chris – $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Yeah !!! Coleman RULES !!!!!!!!!!!
Gore has a house that consumes more than a village … He gets paid insane amount of $$$ to shw a freakin' movie and goes to all his speech in his private jet (not an hybrid, mind ya). And Bozo's telling us to lower our consumption ?????
BRILLIANT Rigth !!!!
Really brilliant
There are many different point of views that are on global warming that are not represented in mainstream news. It is a fact that the Earth has been in a cooling trend the last seven years. It is a fact the world goes through cyclical climate cycles and changes. I've even read an article about how the paint on the "thermometers" used to take the world's temperature can alter the accuracy by +/-1 degree. When you are arguing a 2-3 degree increase will create global havoc, that is a huge margin of error. Many believe Al Gore and etc. are pushing global warming as an agenda to a huge world climate tax. Not all scientists believe in global warming, or that it is caused by humans. Check the facts from non-partisan sources, and it is easy to discover.
I think Al Gore is crazy, and Coleman is right on (no pun intended). I consider myself pretty moderate, but this whole "green movement" is getting out of hand. There's nothing wrong with making the earth a cleaner, more healthy place to live…but not at the expense of making others change their lives. This whole environmental movement is becoming a cult, and something needs to change.
The issue is over-politicized everywhere on this planet. Not just the U.S. I feel the same about closing question: Are there objective 'non-partisan' voices out there on the issue? I don't think I've ever read anything for or against the theory by someone without clear connection to politics. Vanity Fair had that story months ago about the guy who can prove it's a lie. And yet, by the end of the article I felt like 'what a waste of time' as the guy turned out to be an extreme right-winger with many high stakes affiliations with Republican power brokers.
Perez - are you negotiating a deal with the lying right-wing scum Murdoch at Fox? Because if so, kiss your core readership goodbye. The only good right-winger is a DEAD right-winger………

Learn how to spell… bologna not baloney
have you ever known al gore to be right about anything?
Al Gore's claims are 100% false. It can be proven that his data was manipulated- look into it.
Fling out the environmentalists. They are the ones really at fault for this war. They won't let us dig in our back yard. So neuvo left wing of them. "Not in my back yard." We've got Anwar, The coast of Cali and florida…. We haven't built a refinery in 20 years, only remodeled. And now it's not enough. We are being sent to the poor house because of the environmentalists. Now the new hydrogen car that's going to be available in Souther Cal, well, it's 600 to lease. That makes it about a $70,000 Car. If people really cared about the environment, that car would be cheaper. Al Gore would have a smaller house, and they would allow for newer technology to be built in brand new oil refinerys…. Environmentalists suck. And I am an enviromentalist!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I believe in responsible environmentalism… Many environmentalists are just mental.
typical crap from "conservative" republicans - they are always wrong - why am I not suprised they are wrong again…what a joke
i live in san diego…coleman is crazyyy
I think environmentalists do a lot of good, but also a lot of harm. The global warming crowd wants us all back in the stone age.
I think in the end, people just want power to tell others what they can and can't do.
Re: Hyde – HE DOESNT EVEN WORK FOR FOX STUPID FUCK
Keep on pumping CO2 in the air. I'll be laughing as millions of people are displaced and the entire world falls to third-world status.
maybe when gore cuts his consumption of energy and stops using 10X the amount of electricity of a normal American family, i'll start to take this whole thing seriously. but while he's using crazy kWh's to illuminate the mansion, i find it hard to take him all that seriously.
The environmental movement is becoming a cult!!??? LMAO!!! Coming from somone who probably believe that Bible and thinks the earth is 6,000 years old. Dumb fuck.
I work with this issue and there are scientists that fall to either side of the spectrum, but its not because its partisan based Perez- its because its based on what their specific research has shown them. I wouldn't believe a politician, aka Al Gore. All politicians have an agenda. If you're legit interested, then research scientific journals and articles about climate change- you'll be surprised how many different scientific based arguments there are out there.
Re: stace –
Bravo Stace! Drill here, Drill now, Pay Less! Google it.
Anything that disrupts our perfect control of life = false
That is the one universal truth that transcends all cultures and generations.
Will you quit giving yahoos like this a public forum? There are not two sides to every issue, Chuckle-Nuts!
Can't really say I agree with Gore anyway. However I say BIG OIL LIKE OPEC ETC… ARE A MAJOR THREAT TO ECONOMIES. BIG OIL BASICALLY HAS CLOSE TO A GLOBAL MONOPOLY!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO COME UP WITH AN ELECTRIC CAR THAT IS SELF SUSTAINING. FOR EXAMPLE A CAR THAT HAS A CHARGE OR CONTINUALLY GENERATES ELECTRICITY FOR DECADES OR LONGER. NEVER FILL UP AGAIN!! AND HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS ARE A JOKE!!
is this asshat even a real meteorologist or is he just a weather bunny? real meteorologists know the environment is being damaged by us.
the fact is our world goes through cycles irregardless of our contributions, there will continue to be ice ages and warming periods, we can do NOTHING to prevent another ice age, it is how the earth resets itself and we are just along for the ride, while you may say that CO2 emissions increased the rate at which this might occur, you are talking a millionth of a nanosecond in regards to the lifespan of the planet…leave it to humans to claim responsibility for something they have nothing to do with and no control over
At comment number five, squirrels don't lay eggs, moron.
And it's about time someone said something about Al Gore. He really does make it sound like a big deal, when it isn't.
The earth obviously goes threw changes, i/e the ice age, i/e "global warming"
It was going to happen, no matter what. And I'm sure in million of years there will be another ice age, but honestly the next person that blames hair spray, cars, and gasoline on global warming, they can go fall off a bridge.
Seriously, heres an example. Palm Springs. If Global warming was SERIOUSLY in effect, I really doubt it would have snowed there last winter.
It probably wouldn't have snowed in the foothills of Irvine (Southern California) two years ago. Places where snow and rain rarely happen. I live in Southern California where the only time it rains, is the winter. And maybe, if we're lucky, we'll get a centimeter of rain a year.
THE EARTH IS CHANGING, now shut the fuck up you idiots, go suck Al's saggy old balls.
Just so everyone is clear, Al Gore did not just start talking about the environment when he made his movie. He has been trying to educate and make changes on the environment since he first came to politics. People can choose to believe or not, but one thing is for certain, if we take care of the environment, it benefits human kind, what is so horrible about that? Reliance on oil is destroying our earth and people. What is so wrong with using energy that is already free to us, like the sun and wind? Sun/wind power or paying outrageous prices for oil hmmm I wonder which one makes more sense?
Everyone should care about the planet. I'll believe all these people really believe what they selling when they park their gulf streams and car pool. It's all about money and politics. Liberals want to own the oil companies, so they can own us.
Re: Rev J – Just keep voting the way you do too. Maybe you should try playing a game of fairness, honesty, and truthfulness as well. Maybe you shouldn't deal with drug dealers, and try to have a mind of your own as well.
Stop bringing politics into this blog - this is a GOSSIP blog. You clearly are a democrat, which is fine, but then don't try to present information on politics as if you are unbiased or objective. And it's really rich of you to criticize people of being "Repbulican-" or "Democrat-" biased as if it's wrong to be on a particular side of an issue. You clearly promote a liberal agenda that is without much research and merit. If you really want to get into politics on this blog, do your readers a favor and present research in an objective manner, not just your opinion. Otherwise you'll have a lot of people starting to tune out and your traffic will drop - people come here for GOSSIP not your lame attempt to pass your opinion on politics as facts to try to influence their vote this Nov!
JUDGING BY THE RESPONSES ON THIS SITE YOU HAVE ALOT OF DUMB FUCKS THAT READ IT! ONLY I DUMB FUCK WOULD BELIEVE GLOBAL WARMING TO BE A LIE! SERIOUSLY! HUMANS NEED TO GO EXTINCT CAUSE THEY GET DUMBER BY THE MINUET! ONLY IN DUMBASS AMERICA WOULD YOU FIND SOMEONE ARGUING AGAINST SCIENCE!
Mario, my friend, you're growing up before our very eyes and I knew the lefty shtick wouldn't hold with you because Cubans are, by nature, conservative. I see that you're debating man-made global warming in your head and you just have to trust that it's a big crock of shit. You're instincts are heading in that direction and good for you. There is slight global warming as part of the natural climate cycle, all of history points to this. Man has nothing to do with it, we couldn't even if we tried. There is more crud spewed into the atmosphere from a volcano than our tailpipes and yet the earth quickly recovers. You're on the right track, Buddy, by the time you're 40, you'll be spokeman for the Log Cabin Republicans!!
I never thought I would see both sides of an argument here - perez, thank you for sharing both sides of this story
Actually, he's right. The whole "global warming" fiasco is just that, a ploy by the rich to get richer. The world's top scientists are bailing Gore's ship by the boat-load. Most are sheepishly blaming their respective government's pressuring them by stopping their grants for their initial backing of Gore's propaganda campaign. It's all about making more money by by the largest corporations, while edging out the smaller companies. Go to JunkScience .com for the REAL info on so-called "global-warming".
Re: stace – How else are we going to power the millions of vehicles on the road? Maybe there really shouldn't be millions of vehicles. Maybe America should step up to the plate and develop more efficient and cleaner vehicles that don't require so much (or none) oil, instead of having Toyota and Honda reap the economic benefit from developing those cars. Maybe America should invest in public transportation, especially in the big east coast and west coast cities. Instead of making Earth bend to our will, to our needs maybe WE should make some lifestyle changes to preserve the planet God has given us.
It's about time SOMEONE gave credence to an argument against global warming, I'm just shocked to see that it's Perez
I have been reading his theories for a couple years now……I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It's just too bad that you don't hear about both sides of the argument in the media.
wouldn't make for a good story if it didn't scare us??
ditto on iraq….so many good things happening there
This entire thing with Al Gore (resurfacing in the media NOW) is all about the election and his supporting Obama.
THIS STINKING BASTARD FUCKTURD IS NOTHING MORE THAN A REPUBLICAN NAZI ASSWIPE WITH THE BRAINS OF A RETARD…I HOPE SOMEONE PUTS A GUN IN HIS ROTTED MOUTH AND PULLS THE TRIGGER…REAL SOON…PEOPLE LIKE THIS PIECE OF SHIT COLEMAN DON'T DESERVE TO BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE PLANET.
shouldn't the real question be:
Can we continue eating cows which produce only one pound of beef for every 9 pounds of corn (a commercially viable food source for most starving people) they eat AND release significantly more methane into the air than humans do with CO2?
Re: tom – This is exactly why the term "Global Warming" has to be tossed out the window. It really is called "Climate Change". Under this definition, there will be extremes of weather. This includes record breaking hot summers and record breaking cold winters. Your experience just supports the notion that climate change is occurring.
John Coleman is the shizzle. He's super funny, and he knows what he's talking about, so I wouldn't take his comments too lightly; but I am really beginning to believe that the rate at which the inhabitants of the world pump a number of chemicals into the air (not limited to only CO2) is so astonishing and, to some extent, not entirely quantified that making proclamations of any absolute effect over "x" number of years is misleading.
PS - Being a weather person in San Diego is a totally kick back job. How could you not want it? Let me guess what the weather in San Diego is like righ
