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 right now: Warm and sunny.
Global warming is the biggest sham of our generation and Al Gore is laughing all the way to the bank.
Gore is a self promoter who still nurses a grudge about the election HE LOST. He couldn't get elected as dog catcher in Tennessee….he is an embarassment to the nation. He is a lear jet liberal who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the ass. We in Tennessee can't stand him and wish he would move out of our state.
finally… someone is standing up to Al Gore's bullshit
Perez, you astound me. You are truly an uneducated banal cretin.

It's not 9,000 scientists…it's 37,000 all together.

John Coleman is always right…People should listen to him. And the Breeeeeeze is from the west. (if you know John Coleman you know what that means)
Re: WOW P – It's true. The human being is a pollutant to the planet. You are correct we all need to go. We all exhale carbon dioxide–think of how much we can decrease C02 if we were all extinct!
Re: Dorit – You should watch the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car". An affordable alternative vehicle did exist in the 1990's. There was a pilot program launched in Los Angeles. I highly recommend the documentary.
Re: chris – are you kidding? do you have any idea how much money al gore has made from his bullshit? the dude won a friggin oscar, and an inconveniet truth was just about the most narcissistic piece of documantary bull i have ever seen in my life! its become such a trend with celebs to stand up and say we need to be more envirionmentally concious that i sincerely doubt any of them ever look at both sides anymore, they're all hypocrits anyway with their private jets and jeeps and shit. ok, so its good that people are standing up and talking about the environment now but i don't see why we all need to be duped by politics and pop culture in order to do it. gah!!!
Once again, nobody goes to your blog to read about politics you moron. Stick to the celebrity crap pal, its obvious you are influenced by the very people you trash on your blog.
It's a shame that Coleman was forced out of the very same company he founded. I would hardly call his move a down-grade, though. He's still fithly stinkin' rich.
The whole global warming issue is usually brought up by individuals who want a piece of the claim to fame…after all, global warming is a hot issue that attracts not only attention from the general public, but hollywood stars and celebes around the world. While it may seem that Coleman is out to get his name in headlines, he's almost being a voice for those meteorologist who DON'T care for the fame and glory. Ask any atmospheric scientist who has spent enough time studying weather and they will tell you that the majority of what Gore claims is a bunch of crap. Gore does not pratice what he preaches.
To anyone who is not a normal reader of political blogs, look carefully at the responses from those attacking Gore. Are they the typical personal opinions of individual PerezHilton readers? Of course not!
.
There are organized groups of political hacks ON BOTH SIDES who do nothing more than post canned, pre-written responses whenever a controversial issue is raised. These people are NOT regular PerezHilton.com readers - they receive messages from their friends on political blogs telling them to go to the other site and spread their canned words.
.
Don't waste your time reading them - no mater what your beliefs might be. Use the good mind that God gave you, do your own research, and come to your own conclusions.
.
My question to Perez is, why did you put up two posts on an issue that is neither new or pertinent to the subject matter of PerezHilton.com? People who care about global warming or politics have unlimited other places on the Internet to go for these kinds of mindless arguments.
.
Stick to what you do best (which you do quite well)!
He is absolutely right! LET'S TAKE BACK OUR LIVES FROM THE MENTALISTS!
Re: Paige – Good for you Paige, my sentiments ver batum.
I usually type in expletives =)
Perez, I truly do LOVE your site and your opinions - but the political commentary is going a little too far. This is a site about celebrity gossip - leave the political commentary to the pundits and to those who actually work in the political field and stick to what you do best - celebrity gossip. PLEASE. Honestly, I am a little embarrassed for you and I hate that feeling cuz I really think you're great, but come ON!
I think Al Gore is a hypocritical prick, who is "selling" global warming to put some money in his own pocket. He is NOT a scientist, and should just keep his mouth shut. He alone is destroying our planet by flying around in his private jets and living in his "energy efficient" home.
Hop on your own bandwagon Gore.
Its pathetic that you are pushing on political gossip (hit pieces) without any background. Check out the Weather Channel's dealings with Ricky (man on dog) Santorum.
Remember the fact we could not lay pipeline in Alaska because it would endanger the caribou? The real facts years later - the caribou population has SOARED - why? The warmth of the pipelines attracted the herds and they propogated like rabbits. Taxing the oil industry DOES NOT creat more oil people! They merely pass that on to you in a rate hike - vicious cycle. THE ONLY answer - drill more oil in our own backyard. Stop being a Saudi hostage!! Left wing tree huggers have put us in this situation - and they will vote Democrat which means we will only see MORE taxation - more hard earned money out of our pockets going to pay for HIGHER gas prices. YOU idiots - WAKE UP!!!! Get the government out of your back pocket!!
Re: Laura – Not true. I am a typical reader of Perez. Just because I like Perez does not mean that I am a dope. Nor does it mean, because I can write about something of purpose mean that I must not read Perez.

Perez Reader and Enviromentalist debunker
I'M GOING TO LAUGH AT ALL YOU SHEEP WHEN YOU SEE AT LAST THAT "GLOBAL WARMING" IS JUST A HUGE SHAM AND ONLY SUCKERS WHO BUY SNAKE OIL WOULD FALL FOR ALL THIS "PC" CRAP! IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM WORKING ON INCREASING MY "FOOTPRINT" BY WASTING EVERYTHING I CAN, NOT RECYCLING, AND GIVING A GENERAL FUCK YOU TO ALL THE STUPID HIPPIES I CAN. OH YA, FUCK YOU CLOONY, GORE AND PITT!
YOU PEOPLE ARE DUMB!!! SO AM I TO BELIEVE THAT SCIENTISTS AND GORE MADE UP GLOBAL WARMING TO CASH IN WHILE AT THE SAME TIME YOU GUYS BELIEVE THE SHIT SPEWED BY PEOPLE BOUGHT OUT BY OIL COMPANIES SO THEY CAN KEEP FILLING THEIR POCKETS!!!?? YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! GET REAL! GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL! YOU DUMB FUCKS!
Re: Laura – mindless/perez in the same reply ? lol
The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.
Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.
All over the world ocean waters are warming, putting stress on marine ecosystems and sea life, already under siege from pollution, overfishing and habitat destruction.
Melting glaciers could dramatically disrupt the way the ocean delivers nutrients to sea life, from tiny plants to seabirds, depriving them of food
I wonder which one of Gore's thousands and thousands and thousands of square foot homes they are talking about here.
Also, to be caddy — geez that guy has gotten fat! Did he start eating Michael Moore's desserts?
what a fucking idiot. Sure, an Inconvenient Truth wasn't the most accurate documentary and was very misleading, but CO2 in the air DOES fucking warm the earth. It doesn't take an expert to figure that out. Thousands of years ago, there was a giant volcano eruption that emitted TONS of C02 in the air and the earth rapidly went into a warming cycle. If we keep going at the rate we are, the earth will warm. Is global warming exaggerated? Yes. But is it a myth? No, of course not. And either way, we have to change our lifestyle. Gas prices are ridiculous and C02 is bad for the environment and society in general… just look at the fucking cancer rates.
Re: Laura – Why did Perez put it up? Because I like a little mix in the blog. most is celeb fixes, but it's nice to get a jolt of reality. And the People on Perez also vote. So if the people won't go to the pundit site, then let the pundit article come to them.
climate change is a fact, not a partisan issue or a conspiracy theory. the un did NOT manipulate their scientific data. the un intergovernmental panel on climate change is NOT politicized. its latest report was written by over 400 scientists and revised by over a thousand.
i can't believe that you are willing to play this poltical game, and give free advertisement for idiots like this weatherman.
by the way, the un is non-partisan! it is non-american as well.
I think we just found an objective voice on this issue right there. Well and over 9,000 well qualified objective voices on the petition. I beg all of the bleeding hearts and all of the right wingers to stop making this a political issue look at it for what it is. Global warming could be a farce and these are the cyclical patterns of nature, but it could not be farce also. Do I believe we should cut carbon emissions? Yes, because we do not have enough of a grasp on the worlds oil to continue consumption. Is it destroying our environment? Debatable, but it can't be good. Is it vital that we cut all oil and coal consumption immediately like so many of the extremists say? No, for multiple reasons:
1. The world economy would crumble (the current economic cycle we are in would be nothing compared to the crumbling that would occur in the aftermath of this kind of shift)
2. We are not ready for that kind of an economic power shift, no matter which way it goes.
3. Alternatives are not yet viable and are still decades away.
So in closing…drill off-shore in US, drill in ANWAR, and let's start drilling in shale coal regions throughout the remote regions of the US.
And yes I do work for an oil company, I don't care about the children, and I want to destroy the world through the use of carbon based energy (our most plentiful source other than Hydro-electric)…jackasses.
Okay this is coming from the same man(Al Gore) who proclaimed he invented the internet…Al Gore is an egotistical attention whore.
John Coleman ROCKS!!! John Coleman is one of the leading meteorologists in the world in case you didn't know that PEREZ!!!! He's just happy taking it down a notch by doing weather in San Diego…I watch him every night, and am pretty sure that his San Diego weatherman job is for post retirement boredom. Just cause your retired doesn't mean you mind stops working. He is BRILLIANT.
The world's major scientists are now debunking Gore's "science" as ridiculous. England, Japan, Australia, France, all are having their own meteorologists and other related scientists coming forward claiming Gore's claims wouldn't fool a novice in the related fields, much less the most renowned. Face it, the knee-jerkers were royally punked. One of the greatest scams since fascism.
OMG, all this time I've been blinded by the NYT , the LAT, and all those respectable media sources, trusting the scientist (all manipulated by evil Al Gore), and the biggest evil of all "The UN" I'm so happy now that I know that this guy and the "respectable" FOX news, and the "respectable" Rush Limbaugh are the ones they know all the truth, and I'm 100% sure they would never manipulate the truth to make their case. Thank you God for this enlighten people!!
all i gotta say is 20 years ago, the left wing nuts were making a big deal about an "ice-age" and now they've move on to global warming.
