John Coleman is not a meteorologist; he is a television personality. To become a meterologist you need extensive knowledge in physics, usually a doctorate; Mr. Coleman not only does not have that knowledge, he sneers at those who do.

Some real meteorologists have questioned the association between the warming and human activity and or the need to take drastic steps. One of the more prominent is MIT Professor Richard Lindzen, who was one of my undergraduate professors a very long time ago. But he agrees that the warming is real and has said so publicly. (Lindzen has also questioned how strongly cigarette smoking has been linked to cancer, but that may be because he himself is a nicotine addict!) Another of the more prominent scientific so-called skeptics, is Bjorn Lomborg in Denmark, whose training is in economics. But Lomborg himself also says that the warming is real. And these are the two most prominent scientists that the global warming deniers cite! Coleman doesn’t analyze data, he instead engages in *ad hominem* attacks. That is not scientific discourse.
