John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel says global warming is a “hoax” and “bad science” and that Al Gore refuses to admit his cause is based on bad research.
“I am totally convinced there is no scientific basis for any of it,” Coleman said. “Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high-jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history.”
Al Gore reportedly responding by saying, “The Weather Channel? Hah. Everyone knows you can’t trust a TV weatherman.”

Remember, Revelle admitted CO2 theory was wrong.
AS 1 final note you were right administror as i was even northup(not real) name and Nate Hommel (not real) so i was wondering why you didnt delete the post.
Administrator,
I am sorry that Nathan decided to flame you repeatedly. I am currently writing this entry from home seeing as you banned not only Nathan, but every computer in our school's network from the entire website. Although you probably still believe that me and Nathan are the same person I will still try to convince you that we are not. As I stated before, I wrote this entry for a global warming project in my Environmental Science Class, I later showed the article to Nathan. After Nathan had read the article and all of the comments he saw the comment that the Editor had replied to my first post. I think that Nathan wanted my post to be respected even though the editor did not agree. I did not asked Nathan to post as many times as he did and was never very proud of the things he wrote. This is why I have decided that this will be my last post on the website and I will leave you alone from now on. I graduate from high school in less than a week and I feel that this blog has started to consume too much of my time. I have checked it daily to read the replies from both Nathan and from yourself Administrator. I wish you well and hope that people like Nathan don't come around anytime soon.
Goodbye.
Well, people, as with most of these young leftists today, they quickly devolve into obscene little children. We had to ban Nathan just now after on another thread posted "The F@#$ing Adminsitrators (sic) are little muslim B****es" and tried other even more juvenile comments. Of course, he'll go and tell all his professors now how we have censored free speech, like the untouched litany of "facts" above (which we call "weather"), and he'll be a First Amendment hero.
Editor try and edit this;
Yes. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.
• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.
• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.
The report, based on the work of some 2,500 scientists in more than 130 countries, concluded that humans have caused all or most of the current planetary warming. Human-caused global warming is often called anthropogenic climate change.
• Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth's surface. (See an interactive feature on how global warming works.)
• Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.
• These gases persist in the atmosphere for years, meaning that even if such emissions were eliminated today, it would not immediately stop global warming.
• Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today's changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less.
• Other recent research has suggested that the effects of variations in the sun's output are "negligible" as a factor in warming, but other, more complicated solar mechanisms could possibly play a role.
What's Going to Happen?
A follow-up report by the IPCC released in April 2007 warned that global warming could lead to large-scale food and water shortages and have catastrophic effects on wildlife.
• Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century's end, the IPCC's February 2007 report projects. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia.
• Some hundred million people live within 3 feet (1 meter) of mean sea level, and much of the world's population is concentrated in vulnerable coastal cities. In the U.S., Louisiana and Florida are especially at risk.
• Glaciers around the world could melt, causing sea levels to rise while creating water shortages in regions dependent on runoff for fresh water.
• Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.
• More than a million species face extinction from disappearing habitat, changing ecosystems, and acidifying oceans.
• The ocean's circulation system, known as the ocean conveyor belt, could be permanently altered, causing a mini-ice age in Western Europe and other rapid changes.
• At some point in the future, warming could become uncontrollable by creating a so-called positive feedback effect. Rising temperatures could release additional greenhouse gases by unlocking methane in permafrost and undersea deposits, freeing carbon trapped in sea ice, and causing increased evaporation of water.
You think that were two "twins" how bout the EDITOR and ADMINISTRATOR being the same people. Good to see your trying to pull the wool over americans eyes.
Administrator,
I am sure you still believe that we are the same person, I can assure you we are not. Although we have the same IP we are different people. Like I said before our entire school network has the same IP address. No matter what computer I use in the school it will always say the same thing. Perhaps you should check hostmasks instead of IP addresses.
Dont bs me, You dont work you just sit around in your moms house reading other peoples thoughts. Good liar though
Hahaha looks like the administrator doesnt have anything too say. Looks like the global warmer conspricasist finally knew who was right.
Gee Nathan (or Evan), so sorry I've ignored you. I know this is a big deal in your life. But, I've been busy with a few hundred articles we've posted after this one.
How about this? Let's just compromise and say there are two of you, but you are identical twins.
Gotta go back to work, I apologize in advance if I don't get back to you again.
No Problem Deuscher
