John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits.
“Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question,” Coleman said.
“Since we can’t get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue,” Coleman said. “I’m confident that the advocates of ‘no significant effect from carbon dioxide’ would win the case.”
Coleman says his side of the global-warming debate is being buried in mainstream media circles.
“As you look at the atmosphere over the last 25 years, there’s been perhaps a degree of warming, perhaps probably a whole lot less than that, and the last year has been so cold that that’s been erased,” he said. “I think if we continue the cooling trend a couple of more years, the general public will at last begin to realize that they’ve been scammed on this global-warming thing.”
World evironmental patterns have been determines to be cyclical. Just a few years back, environmentalist were claiming that we were going into another iceage. How arrogant are we to think that in the last say 150 industrial years, we have cause the “destruction” of a planet that has been here for how many years?
The sky is not falling, we are not all going to wake up tomorrow and be planetless. I wonder what tomorrow we will be told.

I don’t think global warming is a myth that Al Gore made up. People do have overly simplistic ideas about how carbon works in warming the planet. But let’s say global warming is not true and it is all a hoax or just a bad mistake. In the 1970s no lay person had heard of global warming. We were learning about recycling, saving energy, driving more slowly to conserve fuel, because these were good practices for the planet. Suddenly in the 1990s everyone wants a gas guzzling SUV and starts consuming like there is no tomorrow. Well, oil is a finite source and one day, there won’t be a tomorrow. Why shouldn’t we behave responsibly and conserve energy? Wars are being fought over oil. If nothing else it makes good political sense to be environmentally conscious.

Hi HP and thanks for taking your time to read my blog.
I think that a lot of what you said is very relevant to the discussion that needs to be had about Global warming and effects on the environment as a whole.
I don’t believe Al made it up either, but he has championed the cause and in the process earned a nobel prize for it.
We do need to be more responsible as people with you I will agree, and if nothing else the topic has made people aware of how we act within our world, so it’s not all together bad.
However, lets call it what it is. Lets be responsible enough to tell the truth….what ever where ever that truth may lead us.
Great Comment once again, thanks for furthering the discussion.
