The man who repeatedly beats the Met Office at its own game - Telegraph

....or is Piers Corbyn just lucky with his forecasts?

Is a run of exceptionally cold winters each a little worse than the last....just a statistical outlier?

Who reckons next Winter will fit in with the Met office predictions and have no snow?

Let's see what the Global Warming expert scientists that must not be questioned said specifically about Britain's climate back in 2007.

So what can Britain expect as the blanket of greenhouse gases around the planet thickens? Overall, there will be a shift towards a more Mediterranean-style climate. Scientists last week said the closest current match for the weather expected in London by 2071 is the Portuguese town of Vila Real.

As the temperature nudged record levels last summer, the Met Office said that we should get used to such prolonged periods of settled, dry weather. "There is a significant human contribution to these heatwaves because of carbon dioxide emissions over recent decades ... This is a sign of things to come, with the current temperatures becoming a normal event by the middle of the century."

Three years ago Peter Stott, a Met Office expert, and scientists at Oxford University showed that human emissions of greenhouse gases had more than doubled the risk of record-breaking heatwaves such as the one that is reckoned to have killed 27,000 people across Europe in 2003. "We know that 2003-type hot summers and associated heatwaves won't happen every year, but continuing manmade global warming will increase the chance." By the 2040s, one summer in two is predicted to be hotter than 2003.

According to the most recent report from the programme, which was published in 2002, temperatures in the UK are expected to rise about by 0.4C each decade. The warming will reflect existing weather patterns across the UK, so the north-west of the country will warm the least and the south-east will see the biggest rise. Warmer winters means less snowfall across the country. Changes in rainfall are likely to lead to drier summers and wetter winters.





Now, what does the congregation think of these "models" now?

The same as I thought back then. Speculative nonsense based on flawed data that was designed to do nothing but ensure that further research grants continued to pour in.

There was a minister on the BBC News last night saying that the government needs to spend money in assessing the extent of forthcoming cold winters, FFS, why don’t they use the global warming taxes!

Why do that when we can have some cold winter taxes as well?

...or perhaps just subscribe to Pier Corbyn´s forecasts, at 30 quid a month.

They could look at Prof Don Easterbrook´s website for free.

It will get colder over the next 20 years....but no they´ll probably give several hundred grand to the CRU at East Anglia.

[EternalOptimist]

If Corbyn is right, we are looking at a mini ice age, starting round about ....well, three years ago.

It's good to see that Boris is not towing the cagw line. thats heartening

Have AGW people said that the sun is constant, like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?

No, they've said that the sun doesn't contain CO2 and is therefore not a factor in generating the necessary grants for sending their kids to private schools.
