'There is NO climate crisis': Man-made global warming is a lie and not backed up by science, claims leading meteorologist
- Comments made by John Coleman in an open letter attacking the IPCC
- 80-year-old, who founded Weather Channel, claims oceans are not rising
- What 'little evidence' there is points to natural weather cycles, he said
- Earlier this year, the IPCC warned that no one will be untouched by climate change with storm surges, flooding and heatwaves among the key risks
John Coleman, who co-founded the
Weather Channel, claims that the belief humans are causing climate
change is not backed up by science
Climate change has been proven to be a lie, according to a leading meteorologist.
John
Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, claims that the belief
humans are causing climate change is not backed up by science.
In
an open letter attacking the UN, the 80-year-old from San Diego, said
that what 'little evidence' there is for global warming points to
natural cycles in temperature.
'There is no climate crisis,' he wrote. 'The ocean is not rising significantly. The polar ice is increasing, not melting away. Polar bears are increasing in number.
'Heat waves have actually diminished, not increased. There is not an uptick in the number or strength of storms.
'I
have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political
and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid.'
According to The Express, Mr Coleman based his research on the findings of the NIPCC, a non-governmental international body of scientists.
Their role is to offer an second opinion of the evidence reviewed by the UN's International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

'There
is no significant man-made global warming at this time, there has been
none in the past and there is no reason to fear any in the future,'
added Mr Coleman.
'Efforts
to prove the theory that carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas
and pollutant causing significant warming or weather effects have
failed.
'There has been no warming over 18 years.'

'WE'RE F*****': CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BE CATASTROPHIC, SAYS SCIENTIST
Dr Jason Box tweeted this provocative statement after a Swedish study found methane leaking beneath the Arctic
The planet is 'f**cked' after scientists found huge plumes of deadly methane escaping from the seafloor.
This
is according to Dr Jason Box who claims that methane will be the main
driver of climate change if it escapes into the atmosphere.
He said: 'If even a small fraction of Arctic sea floor carbon is released to the atmosphere, we're f'd'
The
scientist, based at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland,
tweeted the provocative statement after a Swedish study found methane
leaking beneath the Arctic.
Some of this methane – which is over 20 times more potent than CO2 at trapping heat - is now making it to the ocean's surface.
The
leaking gas from the seafloor may have its origins in collapsing
clusters of methane trapped in frozen water due to high pressure and low
temperature.
Scientists
at Stockholm University called the discovery 'somewhat of a surprise,'
which, according to Dr Box, is an understatement.
'We're on a trajectory to an unmanageable heating scenario, and we need to get off it,' Dr Box told Brian Merchant at Motherboard
'We're
f**ked at a certain point, right? It just becomes unmanageable. The
climate dragon is being poked, and eventually the dragon becomes pissed
off enough to trash the place.'
The
IPCC has warned that no one will be untouched by climate change with
storm surges, flooding and heatwaves among the key risks.
The
report said that violent conflicts, food shortages and serious
infrastructure damage were also predicted to become more widespread over
the coming years.
It
also claimed that the world is in 'an era of man-made climate change'
and has already seen impacts of global warming on every continent and
across the oceans.
It
highlighted that in recent decades, Earth has seen changes in water
resources as a result of melting glaciers and differences in rainfall,
and reductions in wheat and maize yields.
In
the wake of the report's publication there were renewed calls from
scientists and campaigners for action to cut greenhouse gases and to
help vulnerable people adapt to already-unavoidable impacts of climate
change.

In
order to minimise the risk of human interference in the climate system,
the international community has agreed limit temperature rise to 2°C
above pre-industrial levels.
'We
live in an era of man-made climate change,' said Vicente Barros,
co-chair of the IPCC study on climate change impacts, vulnerabilities
and adaptation, from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
At
the time of the report, one of its contributors has accused the IPCC of
being too 'alarmist' – and demanded his name be withdrawn.
Professor
Richard Tol, an economist at the University of Sussex, said the drafts
had been changed to make the findings more 'apocalyptic'.
He
said colleagues 'drifted too far to the alarmist side' and were
likening climate change to the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'.
Projected temperature change from
2081-2100. For the first time, the report connects hotter global
temperatures to hotter global tempers. Top scientists are saying that
climate change will complicate and worsen existing global security
problems, such as civil wars, strife between nations and refugees
