John Coleman, a meteorologist who in the 1980s founded The Weather Channel, a station devoted to forecasts and climate news, posted a blog item this week in which he insisted global warming is "a non-event" and "a total scam."
According to a report on an NBC website, he was also critical of major news networks and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, calling them "well informed, but very gullible."
According to the NBC report, Mr. Coleman said his opinion was formed after reading dozens of scientific papers.
"I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct," Coleman reportedly wrote. "The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril."
The Weather Channel declined to comment.
