THis is one year ago, very blunt and direct talk n the matter from the weather channel founder that you cant ignore, even though it goes against the popular opinion of global warming.

This is the better link, talks about how the current science is funded:

John Coleman is a hack journalist with zero education in any of the sciences. So he started the Weather Channel, so what? A used car salesman doesn't need to know anything about cars, a restaurant owner doesn't need to know how to cook. A US president doesn't need to know anything at all.

Think I will start a cable station so I can pretend to be an authority on the content it broadcasts!

I deleted the Weather Channel from my phone because they were caught selling user location data without disclosing it ......

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

If that clip is supposed to support your case for doubting global warming, it fails miserably..... Grin

Plus it is from 2014 ...... the founder was only with the company 1 year - over 30 years ago ...... he produced no evidence to refute anything.... just stated his opinion ....

No Sang, open your eyes: he STARTED THE WEATHER CHANNEL. That means he is a WEATHER GOD. He OWNS the weather, he IS the weather. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY TV GODS.

Grin 😛 😛 Grin

Let's assume this entrepreneur actually knows something about weather simply because he recognized the market potential of a 24 hour television station devoted to, well, 24 hours of weather content....Does that mean he knows anything about climate?

I'll give you a hint, Goob, weather and climate are two different things....Related surely, but TWO DIFFERENT THINGS...

One things for sure, the political climate is getting warmer with all the hot air wind blowing from the president's "fanus".

Damage from climate change has cost $400 billion in California

Rock solid proof that climate change only affects liberals.

If that makes you sleep better or worry less Goober, knock yourself out. Personally, I don't pay much attention to the weather other than the local 7 day forecast... plus the weather gals are pretty.

I’ve always wondered why the right denies it with all of our scientists agreeing with it. What’s their skin in the game to deny our scientists and prevent changes that would kickstart new industries, new American companies, and new jobs?

They have to be the opposite of liberals, no matter what. It's in their party platform.

Plus they are funded by the fossil fuel industry.

As 2112 mentioned, the fossil fuel industry owns the Republican party lock, stock, and barrel....The Koch Brothers alone have such control of the party it makes any effort at acknowledging climate change impossible...Add in the vast number of other industries that are carbon based and, well, we get the Republican party we know today...

For example, two of the most powerful people in the current administration, VP Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompao (sp), are two people with very long histories and financial ties to the Kock Brothers and their vast network of conservative and Republican operators.

Yeah true, but this is where I gotta throw in that the Dems are corporate global fossil whores too, playing the global warming game for social engineering. It doesn't make any difference whether it is happening or not, they are using it as a front for control. Such bullcrap, the Obama administration was a who's who of Monsanto thugs. He rammed thru the Dark Act against GMO labeling under the radar. Stab you in the back and smile in your face. At least Trump you can see he is an @sshole.

They all suck. Damn, I'm cranky today.

No doubt about it the Dems take lots of carbon money too....But they also know climate change is real and certainly support government initiatives to wean ourselves off of our carbon based economy over the long run.

Hahaha! Since when do you respect the opinion of anyone in Greenpeace?

Ok,ok, there it is, you types always use left statements to back up your position. "But look, Obama said this, did that", "see this, Greenpeace gal doesn't like someone in the Green Party".

They are always trying to prove that criticism of them isn’t justified. When Obama spoke, he made them all look so small and silly, and they felt it hard...like when a kid gets caught by their parents and they feel ashamed because they know what they did was wrong.....same thing wih these types. Their shame makes them point the finger back at Obama. Every time Trump mentions Obama’s name or repeals an Obama policy, he is expressing the shame he feels in comparison to Obama’s character and popularity.

I’m starting to feel badly for them all.

Since it fits his warped idea of truth.
And on John Coleman, gee a crusty old tv exec. Denies climate change... not exactly news

I was going to quote it. Glad I didn't, for your sake.
Still, it was funny. 😛
