![]() On CNN, The Weather Channel CEO David Kenny said, This is also the conclusion drawn, nearly unanimously, by climate scientists. These observations, together with computer model simulations and historical climate reconstructions from ice cores, ocean sediments and tree rings all provide strong evidence that the majority of the warming over the past century is a result of human activities. More than a century’s worth of detailed climate observations shows a sharp increase in both carbon dioxide and temperature. The Weather Channel has an official statement on climate change, which it updated a few days after the Coleman interview. Coleman has had no affiliation with The Weather Channel for over 30 years. Several times during the Fox interview, Megyn Kelly commented that The Weather Channel will “ be pushed out of existence since taken this position.” In reality, Coleman was forced out of The Weather Channel in 1983, just a year after he helped found it. There is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn’t been any in the past, and there’s no reason to expect any in the future. On CNN (which to its credit, established before the interview that there is a 97% expert consensus on human-caused global warming and there aren’t two equal sides in this ‘debate’), Coleman went even further in denying basic science, saying,Ĭlimate change is not happening. In reality, 97% of climate science experts and their peer-reviewed research agree that human carbon dioxide emissions are driving global warming. On both Fox and CNN Coleman referred to the discredited Oregon Petition, which can be signed by anyone with just about any college science degree, and which has included “signatures” from fictional characters and Spice Girls. Well there are 9,000 Ph.D.’s and 31 scientists who have signed a petition that says that is not a significant greenhouse gas Global warming – specifically the rapid decline in the Arctic sea ice they need to hunt – has caused polar bear populations to decline in recent years. That growth has nothing to do with the climate – it was due to the introduction of the International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears in 1973, which restricted and in some circumstances banned the hunting of polar bears, which had caused their populations to dwindle. There’s a myth that polar bear populations are thriving because they’ve grown since the 1970s. Of the 12 polar bear populations for which we have sufficient observational data, 8 are declining and just 1 is increasing. ![]() The Arctic has lost 10 times more sea ice than the Antarctic has gained, and resent research suggests the collapse of the land-based Antarctic ice sheet may already be inevitable.
