June 10, 2005 News Release Weather Action Long Range Forecasters say: NO SUPERHEATWAVES THIS SUMMER & 'This lousy weekend - We told you so! There will be NO SUPERHEATWAVES in Britain this summer announced Weather Action Long range forecasters this morning in a forthright contradiction of claims from other quarters publicised last month. "There will be hotspells - and we know when - but none of them will be long enough to be record-breakers. Nowhere will reach 101 degF" said Piers Corbyn astrophysicist of Weather Action. "I am ready to bet with anyone on this", he said "The alarmist claims from others publicised last month alongside government concerns are hype which have no scientific basis. They are Global Warming Spin which will be used to pressure the G8 summit to increase taxes and support nuclear power", he said. "Our forecasts are based on predictable aspects of particle and magnetic activity from the sun. This summer all the hotspells will be cut short by solar particle enhancement of frontal activity - just like this week's warm weather is being replaced by a relatively lousy weekend - "We predicted this particular weather change some time ago and also warned that whatever traditional forecasts would say about this weekend it would turn out to be wetter and cloudier" Mr Corbyn warned that there will be a 'bonanza' of Global Warming spin in the build up to the G8 and it will 'all be wild assertions or dire warnings of doom to come (after the G8 event) which will not be be confirmed.'. He re-iterated comments he made at recent meetings at the Royal Society and at the Institute of Physics, namely: * 'There are no dangers from climate change, the claims of more dangerous extremes to come are just hype - there have been less storms in recent years not more - for example.' * 'The so-called threat of extinctions of Arctic animals is 'total nonsense'; the arctic was warmer than the Global warmers dire predictions from 8 thousand years ago to one thousand years ago and they all survived.' * 'Particles from the Sun are the key to climate change and world temperatures, and in the long run temperatures control CO2 - not the other way around'. * 'The most drastic cuts in mankind's production of CO2 envisaged would ruin the world economy but could not lower world temperatures by more than 0.2 deg C. That is just equivalent to people moving 30 miles North, like moving London to Northampton. Why bother?! The dire warnings of 2degC rise in World temperatures would make Birmingham as warm as Plymouth. Is this a problem? It happened in Roman times entirely naturally; was it a problem then?

My analysis: Piers Corbyn = fraudster.
You ask him to put his method under scientific analysis, and see what he says! -- Rob Overfield Hull "Steve Schulin" wrote in message ...

Con man or no (and I don't have any faith in his forecasts, any more than I
do those of the BBC), I just happen, personally, to subscribe to his thoughts that Global Warming (in the way that we're all meant to believe) is, all-in-all a complete, unsupported myth. Thick? Well, maybe - but also able to make up my own mind... CK "Keith Dancey" wrote in message ...

"in the long run temperatures control CO2 - not the other way around"
And on Venus? How *did* it get to be so hot? Exactly Keith! CO2 levels today are ~372 ppm. Up until this anthropogenically enhanced figure the levels have never been higher than ~305 ppm in the last 425, 000 years, yet the level of 305 ppm caused an earth about 3C warmer than today (about 325, 000 years ago). The natural levels have been as low as 180 ppm and this has caused a world gripped in an ice age with an average temperature around 8 degrees colder than today. There is a time lag between atmospheric CO2 levels and the resulting temperature of the earth. With current levels at ~372 ppm and rising brings the possibility of extreme warming not experienced for nearly half a million years or more, and we are now on a time-lag pathway of ever increasing warming due to current CO2 levels being far higher (67 ppm higher) than anything ever recorded before. And if it all goes completely pear shape on this earth then where the hell do we go - Venus? ________________________ Nick G Exe Valley, Devon 50 m amsl |

Other rises of this nature have been over much longer time spans and therefore the current situation seems unlikely to be *entirely* natural.
