Dr Piers Corbyn of WeatheAction .com the leading London independent climate site is right when he says"The latest spoutings of the( UN IPCC) CO2 warmists sect are desperate deluded baseless alarmist nonsense which if turned into policy will be a real threat to the world economy and world stability, rather than would any actual changes in climates across the world. The CO2 climate warmist con and all the anti- scientific parasites, politicians, green spongers and climate tourists it supports must be destroyed" 31 March 2014. He goes on to say "the latest IPCC screechings are not science but a self serving political scam to deceive, control, manipulate and exploit the populations of countries for which this delusional, anti scientific cancer hold sway. There is no evidence for CO2 warmist claims , only evidence against."
He continues " The Jet Stream is the arbiter of extreme weather and real natural climate yet the CO2 theory cannot explain or predict its recent wild behaviour(which happened in previous ice ages), while solar activity has done so and will continue to do so. All the alarmist claims of the CO2 warmists since 2000 have failed and this latest sad catalogue of zany fiction and alarmist nonsense will also fail."
Piers Corbyn goes on " The observed fact is the world is at the beginnings of a predicted natural mini ice age and the many wild extremes to come in a general cooling must be prepared for. however the IPCC and the thieves kitchen of the UN is pointing the world in the wrong direction from which economies will collapse and millions will die of hunger if the deluded warmist policies, taxes and surcharges are adopted. We challenge any representative of the CO2 warmist camp to a public evidence based debate. The difference between us and these fraudsters, climate charlatans and tax grabbers is that we support and carry out the scientific method whereas the CO2 warmist sect and their heirs in the BBC and other media do the opposite" http://www.weatheraction.com/docs/WANews14No06.pdf
A couple of things.
ReplyDelete1. Piers Corbyn has an MSc in Astrophysics, not a PhD. He is not Dr. Piers Corbyn.
2. As he publishes his old forecasts, it is straightforward to compare them with the Met Office monthly summaries. I have done this and his accuracy is nowhere near the 85% he claims. For example, both his January and February forecasts claimed that precipitation in the South of England would be drier or much drier than normal. The reality was roughly double the normal amount of rainfall. Judge him by his results, not his claims.
