Views on climate change
Coleman, who was politically incorrect, disagreed with the popular Global Warming Theory, which claims that climate change is a serious threat and caused by humans, calling it "baloney."[3]
- "There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril."[4]
Due to his views, liberals abhorred Coleman.[5]
