Al Gore being sued for fraud (PV?)

Weather Channel Founder Blasts Network; Claims It Is 'Telling Us What to Think'


The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.

Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”


The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.

Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.

“[i] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”

Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the “scare” of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.


Stuart James and Paul Detrick also contributed to this report.

Whenever I hear about Global Warming, I just sit back, eat a huge bowel of chili with jalapenos, and add a couple of metric tonnes (European Spelling) of methane gas to the atmosphere in honor of Algore.

But right now, it is

If the lawyers will take the case

Yea, I'll have some of that chili

I was a Geography major in college. Geology, Meteorology, Climatology, Astronomy, etc. I thought I was going to go into the Geographic Information Systems field, but that didnt go as planned. Anyway, I am glad that someone is taking these nuts to task and I hope this gets the ball rolling.

Lots of people ate a huge BOWEL of chili, according to evidence that some teen age restaurant workers boweled it up a bit with a stool....don't know if it had any jalapenos in it or not, but it was still spiced up a bit.

I actually meant for the title of the thread to add a question mark at the end of the actual title to basically "Al Gore being sued for fraud?" with an additional ? in the PV part. I don't want to be accused of saying that he is being sued when it is just a possibility at this point. My bad!
