John Coleman is an American meteorologist and the founder of The Weather Channel.

Coleman started his career at WCIA (TV) in Champaign, Illinois, doing weekend weather and a local show called At The Hop. He later became the weather anchor for WCIA's sister station WMBD-TV in Peoria, Illinois, and later weather anchor for WMAQ-TV and WLS-TV[1] and weatherman on New York television and on Good Morning America for seven years.[2]

During his time at Chicago's WLS-TV, Coleman was one of Chicago's most popular meteorologists, famous for his amusing and irreverent style. He popularized the words "thorms" and "thowers" to represent thunderstorms and thundershowers.[citation needed]

After founding and leaving The Weather Channel, Coleman became weather anchor at independent television station KUSI-TV in San Diego, California as his "retirement job".[2]

He may have been a TV weatherman (anybody can do that, just gotta coordinate your hands with the green background behind you and use the teleprompts to coordinate your movements while talking). But he is not a meteorologist and has no degree in meteorology.

There are some more credible sources on Global warming and why it may not be human caused. But even the MIT guy IMO is just doing it for his ego to potentially go down in history as the only one that was right if in fact we find out it is not humans LOL. It is good though to have dissension to keep the debate alive. I'm not at all poo-pooing people with the belief it is not humans causing the problems (although I growingly am in that camp of majority human caused).

Have a good Father's Day!
