The founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, wants to sue Al Gore for fraud, along with companies that sell carbon credits. Coleman, who feels the network he created in 1982 is now losing sight of its initial focus, has been a long-time skeptic about global warming.

Now, he’s hoping that a lawsuit — with its accompanying legal discovery and scientific testimony — will serve as a vehicle for a full-fledged fact-finding debate to learn whether there’s any truth to the whole “global warming” thing. As far as he’s concerned, it’s a scam:

“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.”

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is ignoring news of the lawsuit, possibly because Al Gore is just so darn fashionable these days.

After all, doesn’t he hang out with Bono and parody himself on SNL? Isn’t he on the Hollywood A-list for party invites?

Frankly, Al Gore pretty much convinced me that he’s out of touch reality when, at the Nobel Prize Concert, he used the same tired speech he’d previously given to the U.N. (video). You know, the one where he hammers on how “we in our generation will find the moral authority and capacity for long-term vision”.

Oh, sure, it went over just fine when he was talking to a crowded gathering of other old farts, but seemed rather smarmy at the Nobel Prize Concert where he was old enough to have fathered (or grandfathered) half of audience.

Best way to reduce carbon emissions: tape Al Gore’s mouth shut for a while.
