Law School Chronicles

There is vindication for those of us who have refused to buy into the liberal hype of global warming over the past several years. It used to be that suggesting global warming was a myth was a virtual invitation to ridicule. But my father tells stories of being in high school and being shown videos depicting mock news reports in the year 2000 which would feature segments on where you could go to obtain breathable oxygen. These sorts of government hypes have been around for a while.

So it was realtively big news last November when Weather Channel founder John Coleman called global warming “the greatest scam in history.” Then, just months later, came a report that all four major global temperature tracking stations recorded sufficient temperature drop over 2007 alone to erase the past 100 years of global warming.

Now John Coleman is calling on people to sue the global warming alarmists, including Al Gore, for fraud. This strikes me as a rather interesting idea. Al Gore and the creators of the carbon credit scheme have made big money off of the global warming hysteria and scientific evidence has been around for a long time that the earth is on a regular cycle of minuscule temperature variance to which human activity does not contribute. There might be merit to a suit alleging that Gore and his cohorts knew or should have known that global warming was false, but misrepresented the truth to induce people to buy his sham credits for his own personal gain.

It should be interesting to see if anyone takes Mr. Coleman up on his suggestion.
