Corbyn, like many other astrophysicists, has figured out that climate change is mainly due to extraterrestrial forces,

It would be hard to solicit donations using hard data. Doesn't sell much print either. Much better to use BS in large print. On the bright side Gore and Suzuki have helped keep oil prices up by jetting around the world preaching gloom and doom.

Large print...I see you're familiar with Walt's work.

This article is more BS, and it takes more time to address all the nonsense that passes as science in the denial echo chamber than it does to throw together a poor piece of BS. Just look at the sea level for instance. The IPCC doesn't make projections for 1995-2010, they make century long projections, multiple projections, for very specific scenarios. If one variable changes when you project something, the projection really isn't useful any longer...hence they make multiple projections for multiple scenarios of what the future reality might be.

And sea level rise looks like this:


Obviously it's a non-linear growth curve....

And what does it look like with the range of IPCC scenarios? Something like this:

Wait a minute. The sun causes global warming? What a stunning scientific discovery. The next thing American Thinker will be declaring is that rain makes the ground wet and snow is cold. And CO2 has nothing to do with increased global warming? Too bad we can't interview a few Venusians about that.

I don't think Corbyn's proven his case. He doesn't reveal his methods so no other scientist can offer an assessment of them, the Wikipedia piece about him records times when he's been wrong about major weather events, he makes predictions a year in advance and modifies them as time goes by so whatever happens he'll probably be able to point to a time when he said it would, and I couldn't find an analysis of his predictions versus what actually happened. The only things I could find were so hedged about with caveats and conditional clauses I couldn't conclude anything from them but the obvious, sometimes he's right and sometimes he's wrong, like any forecaster. And a subject line like "It's the sun, stupid" is not conducive to reasoned debate, credibility takes a hit right off the top.

I want to hear more about extraterrestrials causing our problems. Could it be other planets
passing by, or is it the little people in space ships? We all know about the little people in
spaceships, they came about because there were too many on earth dancing on the lawns.
If it is extraterrestrials I will have to buy a tin foil hat and I always have a problem finding one
that fits. Oh yes I like to have one around in case I have to listen to Gore or Suzuki for that
matter.
What a load of crap. We all know that cows cause global warming don't we?
I believe the weather is what it is and it changes we have had the tropics in the Arctic and
Ice ages that covered the Okanagan. We can ban fires, we can insist there is no dust.
We can stop traffic from running up and down the freeway and all ride bikes, but we cannot
be so arrogant as to suggest we can gain control over the weather. Oh I am not saying we
should do nothing to ensure we don't damage our life surroundings, but for heaven sake it
is not the nature of man to live like hermits in caves.
Things have got out of control because we need to have a problem, not a solution.
What do I mean. we thought the world was coming to an end because the spotted owl was
in danger, then we went on a campaign to save all the whales. It came to a grand conclusion
with saving all the old growth forests that were consumed by forest fires and Pine Beatles.
I think people who go about scaring everyone with dooms day predictions about the weather
should be made to bob for French Fries. Picture that.

You should read Michael Crichton's, State of Fear.

Not unless it snowed in Nashville or Washington, D.C., where Mr. Gore maintains his principle residences.
