TWC founder John Coleman to be on CNN this morning – tune in

Thanks, Anthony. I will watch John Coleman on CNN.

Hope we’re not given another lesson in creative editing.

Mr. Coleman’s a hero, but my sense is these things hurt more than they help. Of course they painted him as a crank denier, and the format made it impossible for him to speak in anything but broad brushstrokes. No debate, and tof course hey gave the weather channel CEO the opportunity to speak last, so no rebuttal possible. I’d have advised Mr. Coleman not to do it, though I’m sure I’m in the minority opinion.

Just watched it. Not really much new here. Coleman and the current Weather Channel CEO were interviewed separately. Coleman was a bit pushy. The CEO suggested they were listening to the science of today and not the science of 30 years ago (a snipe at Coleman’s qualifications). No debate on the science. Coleman called climate science claims “baloney” and “political” referring directly to the Democrats paying scientists to get the answers they want in a closed circle of cash.

Daylight time came to an end last night here in the United States. My phone changed the time. My TV box changed time. My clock changed time. My computer changed time. I changed the clock on the stove and microwave and in my cars. But, I see this morning that WattsUpWithThat still thinks it’s daylight time. LOL

It was pretty tame. Once again CNN had no interest in applying the scientific method to the claims of the alarmists. One can only hope that someone heard the numbers John brought up that is spent only on alarmist “research” and will realize there are much more pressing needs. Nothing was learned which is why Watching CNN is a complete waste of time.

One of John’s points is well worth repeating (paraphrase) – $2.5B is spent on climate change research in the US each year (not including the $18.0B spent on alternative energy – me) and the scientists only get the money if they are producing pro-global-warming-disaster results. It’s bought and paid for.
Somehow this has to change.

CNN pulled the ‘Final Word’ trick outta the bag,….again.
They gave the last word to the Vox Populi of the watermelon apparatchik, as you’d expect, so the alarmist message rang out as the last word on the matter.
The interviewer was trying, I think, to paint Mr Coleman as an old geezer, a ‘grumpy old man’ type.
The alarmists can’t do a graceful interview, the snide always leaks through.
CNN would look at home behind the old iron curtain, are we sure they’re not a branch of PRAVDA?

Erratum: “And neither DO the emperor’s would-be sycophants in the White House.” [Wish we could preview and/or edit our comments.]

Well done, John Coleman! Thank you for speaking out. Science is now and always has been skeptical; it’s the nature of the endeavor to poke holes wherever and whenever possible, to find fault and inconsistencies. Scientific method was designed to weed out and discard the weak and misguided hunches, guesses, what-ifs, wishful thinking, hypotheses and theories. Only strong and repeatedly replicated and verified ideas and observations can survive the process.
Those who have refused to follow the methods of science are ‘deniers’. It is they who have denied the evidence and the facts; they who have failed to weed out and discard weak and misguided musings; they who have abandoned science in the name of political advocacy and expedience. And in many cases personal gain.
The deniers needed 5-10 years of additional warming to pull off their scam. They guessed they’d get it. They were wrong. Had they actually done some science, they could have deduced their chances of succeeding were slim at best. Fortunately, the good earth refused to cooperated and enough good people refused to be silenced by intimidation and shaming. The scam is falling apart. People everywhere are waking up and wondering where has all the warming gone. Why do the deniers have 50+ excuses why we don’t feel all the heat they say is soon to cook us. The general feeling is we could use some more of it, thank you, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.
I’m optimistic that soon the scam will collapse entirely and we can begin to undo whatever damage can be undone and seek as much redress as possible from those who inflicted it upon us. There is precedent for how to deal with them, but I won’t mention it because it would get me modded.
/rant thanks for reading.

Ten years ago, the Pentagon paid for a climate study that put forth many scary scenarios.
Consultants told the military that, by now, California would be flooded by inland seas, The Hague would be unlivable, polar ice would be mostly gone in summer, and global temperatures would rise at an accelerated rate as high as 0.5 degrees a year.
None of that has happened…
The report also became gospel to climate change doomsayers, who predicted pervasive and more intense hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts…Doug Randall, who co-authored the Pentagon report, said, “Even I’m surprised at how often it’s referred to…
Asked about his scenarios for the 2003-2010 period, Mr. Randall said in an interview: “The report was really looking at worst-case. And when you are looking at worst-case 10 years out, you are not trying to predict precisely what’s going to happen but instead trying to get people to understand what could happen to motivate strategic decision-making and wake people up. But whether the actual specifics came true, of course not. That never was the main intent.”…

This Pentagon climate report speaks to the heart of false climate science alarmism that is rampant to day that JOHN COLEMAN refers to. .These alarmist climate science reports are meant to exaggerate and scare people. They do not highlight that these are worst case projections in the opening paragraph. These qualifications never make the headlines or press releases .The rational world does not plan for the future based on worst case scenarios. We might as well all quit living if this was the case . No nation can afford to spend money to mitigate worst case scenarios, nor should they. The problem is that the current set of politicians take these worst case situations and make firm public policies and actions as if they were true. They then fabricate entirely new falsehoods like carbon dioxide is a pollutant on top of these worst case scenarios and you now have a firm government action thrust on the general public that is all pure fabrication of a worst case scenario that will never come about. Yet it comes from the highest administrative offices in the land

I listened to John Coleman’s exchange with the CNN host before I knew any of the circumstances. I thought John did fantastic and I was puzzled how CNN allowed this thing to happen (except for some accidental airport exposure I haven’t watched CNN for years and I didn’t know who the bald host was).
Now that I’ve read some of the background I will always remember that Brian Stelter is the guy who tried to play games with John Coleman in November 2014 and got owned.
