Al Gore to Be Sued?

By Scott Felsenthal et al.

The following headline grabbed my attention this morning: 

"Al Gore to be Sued by Weather Channel Founder"

The headline immediately got my attention, so I read on. John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, is calling global warming a fraud and wants to sue Al Gore for his continual advocacy of the phenomenon. Coleman has stated that billions of dollars are being made over global warming, and "that is indeed the impetus for the alarmism associated with it." In the past, Coleman also made the remark that global warming is "the greatest scam in history."

Isn't there too much scientific evidence that bolsters the view of those that believe that global warming is a true threat to the existence of all types of species, including humans, on this earth? Could Gore, and others, possibly be using global warming as a way to put money in their own pockets?

Thoughts?
