Hi guys, Brian, Joe, 

Haven't been here in awhile on IPC due to a move and activities before and 
surrounding the move. I won't recover for quite some time.

Just yesterday on a Republican web blog I came across the following article 
that is posted across the blog space that supports the AnnC RushL, O'Reilly 
banter called news.

<Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming Scam
This article is written by John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel.

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended 
by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with 
environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to 
create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same 
environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden 
the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming 
claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to 
keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up 
with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this 
wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental 
consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. 
Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and 
become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, 
the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed 
but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at 
ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 
minute documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of 
either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about 
environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something 
you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of 
life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a 
manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t 
believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy 
Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be 
it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous 
scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There 
is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not 
catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media 
glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter 
arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the 
temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm 
pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have 
been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are 
as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly 
believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend 
as they are to see a warming trend.  See John’s full blog story here.>

So I went a looking and it seems that the correct information is still in the 
right authoritative places, even though blog and Bush blog land is still saying 
with renewed rigor that they can do anything they wish to the globe and they 
are cool or is that hot.
