A veteran US meteorologist and global warming sceptic says a bid to sue Al Gore for fraud over his claims about man-made climate change is gathering momentum.

Al Gore: now staying tight-lipped over climate change comments?

John Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel in 1982, proposed taking the former vice president and other environmental activists to court at a conference in New York in March.

Since then he has "received thousands and thousands of emails with lots of support", he says. "And thousands of these people want to donate to a legal fund to sue Al Gore."

Mr Coleman hopes court could be the venue to settle the debate over what he calls “the biggest scam in history” and expose global warming alarmism as "silly hype".

"I think it’s maybe our only alternative to just hunkering down and waiting it out," said the forecaster, who now works for a local station in San Diego, California.

Poll

How much weight do you give debates when deciding for whom to vote for president?

  • A lot. I haven't made up my mind and how the candidates perform plays a huge role in my decision.
  • A little. I'm leaning in one direction, but could change my mind.
  • None. I've already made up my mind and nothing the other candidate says could sway me.
