Dear Editor,
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, recently called Global Warming “the greatest scam in history.”
Coleman’s field of expertise is meteorology. He says meteorology is a science, not a religion. It is not political, not environmental, just a science.
His conclusions are supported somewhat by an August 29, 2007 entry quoting Michael Asher in the U. S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works blog. Asher reported most weather scientists believe the climate is warming.
However, a majority do not believe man has a significant impact on the weather. Only one of 528 entries thought there would be “catastrophic results” due to global warming. That is far from a consensus.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger should take note before his Greenhouse Gas Program harms California’s economy. History suggests it may be too late. Once government has taken a freedom or liberty from the people, the government will do not give it back.
Marvin L. Jones, Hollister
