I know that Brett talked about John Coleman's opinions of Al Gore in a post a couple of weeks ago (Weather Channel Founder Sounds Off), but I don't believe he did a post about Coleman's suggestions that it might be a good idea to sue proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits. This story may have been around for a while, but Foxnews.com has a headline on the story this morning (Weather Channel Founder: Sue Al Gore).

John Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel in 1982 and is no longer affiliated with the company, hopes that a legal debate will settle the global warming debate. Coleman believes that a court challenge could bring scientific testimony from both sides so that there could be a solid debate on the issue.

Do you believe that a legal case would help to answer the questions related to the science of global warming? Or, do you believe that talking about a lawsuit involving Al Gore is just a good way to get into the news cycle? Or, do you believe something else?

I know that I haven't been guest hosting (I feel as though I'm Brett's Joan Rivers for those of you old enough to remember Johnny Carson) this blog long enough for you to know that I'm a fan of the sports teams from good ol' Pittsburgh, Pa., so when I saw this article (Pirates unveil green initiative), I thought to myself that my lowly (oh, so lowly) Pirates, with 15 consecutive losing seasons, finally have the opportunity to be first at something.

Of course, being first has nothing to do with baseball. The Pittsburgh organization wants to be the leader in terms of being environmentally friendly. They have a comprehensive plan to recycle and reduce usage, ranging from the 760,000 aluminum cans and bottles sold to customers each year to requiring staff to print on both sides of paper (which is expected to save 500,000 sheets).

Personally, I commend them for it. Now, if they could only become that dedicated about trying to acquire talent.
