Eco-loonies reject an inconvenient truth
by Richard Littlejohn

Here's a story you won't have heard about. The founder of the Weather Channel in the US says Al Gore should be sued for fraud. John Coleman says that's the only way all the evidence about "climate change" can be properly challenged. He insists the great global warming scare is a huge scam, and says he has scientific proof to back him up.

Coleman doesn't deny that weather cycles change, and he admits that carbon emissions are higher than they were, say, 300 years ago. But he says carbon in the atmosphere amounts to only 38 particles in 100,000. And far from "global warming", the Earth is actually in a cooling-down phase.

If all the available evidence on both sides was presented to a court, rationally and soberly, he's convinced he would win the argument. Coleman made his remarks on Fox News after speaking at a conference on climate change in New York. None of the major networks touched the story, and neither did the big city papers, which buy the Gore line wholesale.

There's been little or no coverage here, since the broadcast media, in particular, has taken leave of its senses over "climate change". Most news bulletins these days are little more than party political broadcasts by Greenpeace, who put the "mental" in environmentalists. They're like the lunatics who walk up and down Oxford Street wearing sandwich boards and screaming that The End Of The World Is Nigh. Politicians have a vested interest in peddling this swindle. It's the latest way of bullying us and picking our pockets.

Coleman insists that in a couple of years most of us will wake up and realise that we've been had. It's fair to assume he has some idea of what he's talking about, since - unlike most of the hysterical doom-mongers - he's been a meteorologist all his life.

Sometimes you do need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

If the eco-loonies and climate change fascists are convinced they're right, why not let their theories be tested forensically in court? Surely they're not afraid of an inconvenient truth?
