Warming Skeptic

(Fox News) - The TV meteorologist who came up with the idea for The Weather Channel says global warming is "a manufactured crisis" and "the greatest scam in history."

John Coleman has been forecasting since the fifties and now works for a San Diego TV station. He writes on the weather-related Web site called Icecap — "Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the 'research' to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims."

Coleman says in a decade or two — the public will realize that — "we have been duped."
