We promise this will be the last post devoted to this week's sham of a climate change conference -- brought to you by the friends of big oil and big tobacco -- but we just couldn't let this item pass without comment: The founder of the Weather Channel thinks it would be a good idea to sue Al Gore and others involved in the sale and marketing of carbon credits, in order to "finally put some light on the fraud of global warming."

Speaking Monday at the Heartland Institute's International Conference on Climate Change, John Coleman -- who founded the Weather Channel in 1982 but is no longer affiliated with the station -- told the audience that suing Gore and others would force "global warming alarmists" to give a more honest account of their policies.

"I have a feeling this is the opening," he said. "If lawyers will take the case -- sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. The lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention."

Coleman is a strange character who has essentially disassociated himself with TWC because a station of full of meteorologists and climate experts has the audacity to believe that global warming is indeed real. "The Weather Channel had great promise, and that's all gone now because they've made every mistake in the book on what they've done and how they've done it and it's very sad."

Yes, and that's exactly why your channel is about to be sold for $5 billion.
