Weather Channel co-founder John Coleman believes global warming is a myth, but says it's hard to get his views out.
"A climate skeptic can rarely get on TV ever since Al Gore made it a plank of the Democratic Party," Coleman said Monday on Fox News Channel's "
The Kelly File."

Though the Environmental Protection Agency and the majority of the scientific community says carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, Coleman disagrees.
"Well, there are 9,000 Ph.Ds and 31 scientists who have signed a petition who say it is not a significant greenhouse gas," Coleman said. "Oh, it's a teeny, itsy-bitsy greenhouse gas, but it's not in any way significant."
Responding to Gore's claim in his film "An Inconvenient Truth" that the Arctic ice cap will be completely gone in summer within 50 to 70 years, Coleman said the Arctic ice cap is at the highest it has been "in several years."
The Antarctic ice cap is at an all-time record high in both coverage and thickness, he added.
