But, while this theory is increasingly being taught in schools and other institutions, it is important to note that there are thousands of reputable scientists who absolutely do not agree that global warming is settled science. One of these is John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel.

In a recent interview with CNN, Coleman stressed that there is no scientific consensus when it comes to global warming. Noting that science isn't a vote, but needs to be based on cold, hard facts, he stated firmly that climate change simply is not happening.

"There is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn't been any in the past, and there's no reason to expect any in the future," he stressed. "That's a whole lot of baloney."
