[font size=3]Lingering U.S. political debate over whether human activity is causing climate change could be settled once and for all by the 2016 presidential election, according to John Coleman, a climate change denier who co-founded The Weather Channel.

Coleman, a retired TV weatherman credited with persuading a communications magnate to start The Weather Channel in 1981, said during an interview with a likeminded skeptic on website Climate Depot on Wednesday that a November victory by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton may usher in years of government anti-pollution regulations and would further marginalize climate deniers.

“This election may be a tipping point in the climate debate,” said Coleman, who has called climate change “a myth.” Climate Depot promotes climate change denial.

The only scientific debate about climate change is what to do about it. An overwhelming majority of climate scientists believe human activity is causing global warming.

Most weathermen and women are meteorologists, in other words, scientists. They understand what's going on, despite their boss's idiocy.
