Opaque Lucidity

The Weather Now

John Coleman, the man who founded the Weather Channel in 1982, has put forth the best idea I've heard this week: sue the people who sell carbon credits, presumably for fraud. This would put the science of global warming on trial. I wonder, though, where the jury would come from. If there was ever an argument for professional juries...

“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”
