Dissent, discussion over cause of global warming (OneNewsNow.com)

The debate over global warming heated up in 2008, with prominent meteorologists, scientists, and environmentalists dissenting from the so-called consensus for "manmade" global warming.

First there was John Coleman -- the founder of the Weather Channel. In a speech delivered in March, Coleman questioned the validity of so-called "manmade" global warming. He also called into question the notion of a carbon credit system and stated that those who sell them could be committing financial fraud.

"There is no human-caused global warming as a result of CO2 -- and all these carbon credits, which they're selling for millions of dollars, are based on CO2 forcing, they call it, causing global warming," said Coleman. "Well, that's not valid, and they've got to know it -- and if they know it and they're selling those carbon credits, aren't they committing financial fraud?" [Via CO2 Sceptics)

In the strategic and apparently purposeful deception of a trusting public, Alberta's Oil Patch Daily (a.k.a., the Calgary Herald) and University of Calgary political science Professor Barry Cooper are exuberant co-conspirators.

Reasonable evidence appears in the column that Cooper pens weekly for the Herald, a pulpit that he used most recently to accuse actual climate scientists of committing "ethical transgressions" because they continue to share research pointing to the greatest environmental catastrophe in human history.
