John Coleman denounces Climate Change as 'Baloney'

John Coleman, co-founder of The Weather Channel, made the outrageous claim on CNN back in 2014 that there is no significant, man-made climate change. He proposed that it is a conclusion driven by billions of dollars in government funding; scientists that do not support this conclusion do not get funding.

No matter your position on Climate Change, it is a very interesting political movement to follow through the decades. Humans have a tendency to make outrageous claims to create a sense of urgency, such as, "no ice in the Arctic in 12 years." Since 1988 when the spectre of global warming was first raised in front of the U.S. House of Congress, all such claims have expired unrealized.

Yes, the world gets warm. Yes, 2012 was a peak hot year, but did you know the early 1970s were peak cold years? Scientists were talking about a new ice age in the 1970s.

The sun has a fairly consistent 11-year sunspot cycle and temperatures on Earth fluctuate accordingly. In 2023, we will again enter the peak of the solar sunspot cycle as we were in 2012 and I expect extremely warm summers and mild winters for the next couple years. Then it will cool down a bit. There are other cycles affecting Earth's solar radiance exposure, such as Jupiter's 11.9 year orbit which places Earth closer too or further from the Sun each summer/winter cycle as the gravity of Jupiter tugs at the Earth's orbit.

We each get about 80 years of life to observe these cycles. Pay attention and draw your own conclusions.
