KUSI's John Coleman Plays Retirement Card in Vegas". ^ a b c d Stone, Ken (August 14, 2017).1983 – Broadcast Meteorologist of the Year, American Meteorological Society.Coleman died on Januat Summerlin Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas. In May 2016, John and Linda Coleman moved to Sun City in the Summerlin Community of Las Vegas. Coleman met his second wife, Linda, at a poker table in Viejas Casino and was married to her for eighteen years. Coleman was married and divorced previously and had three children. Personal life Ĭoleman was born in 1934 in Alpine, Texas, the youngest of five children to a college professor and his mathematics teacher wife, Claude and Hazel Coleman. Coleman's views contributed to his decision to drop out of the American Meteorological Society. Coleman holds a degree in journalism and stated in interviews that he has not conducted any scientific research in the area of climate change. He has called global warming the "greatest scam in history" and made numerous false or misleading claims about climate science. In a 2015 open letter to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he argued that a causal relationship between rising levels of atmospheric CO2 and rising temperatures has not been shown to exist. Views on global warming Ĭoleman spoke out as a "rejectionis" of global warming in 2007 after watching NBC's "Green is Universal" week, when as a sign of environmental awareness, the studio lights were cut for portions of Sunday Night Football's pre-game and half-time shows. Coleman said that after ten years of attending AMS National Meetings and studying the papers published in the organization's journal the AMS was driven by political, not scientific, agendas and withdrew.

Ĭoleman obtained Professional membership status in the American Meteorological Society and was named AMS Broadcast Meteorologist of the Year in 1983. After being forced out of TWC a year later, Coleman became weather anchor at WCBS-TV in New York and then at WMAQ-TV in Chicago, before moving to Southern California to join the independent television station, KUSI-TV in San Diego in 1994, in what Coleman fondly calls "his retirement job." Coleman abruptly left KUSI while on vacation in April 2014, with no on-air farewell. In 1981, he persuaded communications entrepreneur Frank Batten to help establish The Weather Channel, serving as TWC's CEO and President during the start-up and its first year of operation. He stayed seven years with this top-rated program anchored by David Hartman and Joan Lunden.
