QUOTE
John Coleman started his career at WCIA (TV) in Champaign, Illinois, doing the early evening weathercast while he attended the University of Illinois. After graduating in 1957, he became the weather anchor for WMBD-TV.
In fall of 2007 Coleman described the current concern over global warming "a fictional, manufactured crisis, and a total scam." In 2008 he gave a speech of the same tone before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce blaming the "global warming scam" and environmentalist lobby for current gas and food prices rising, and declaring that that scam is a threat to our economy and our civilization.
Although,he served as the founding CEO and President of The Weather Channel, he was forced out. He then became weather anchor at WCBS-TV in New York and then at WMAQ-TV in Chicago before moving to Southern California to join the independent television station, KUSI-TV in San Diego.
His postings assessing the science behind global warming can be read at www.kusi.com
