Meteorologist Piers Corbyn - mocked by global warming alarmists for predicting cold winter - gets last laugh: "Heh:

From Ace of Spades:

He predicted this current winter would be the coldest in 100 years, and that the Northeast US would suffer the worst blizzards in decades. Comparing him to the UK meterological office that believes in global warming -- they predicted a mild winter.

Using solar cycle theory, he predicts it'll be cold for 25 years or more.

One erroneous prediction doesn't prove or disprove a theory, but the global warming disciples really need to put some W's up. This is getting embarrassing.

And from Mediaite via Instapundit: Global Warming Skeptic Predicts Brutal Winter, Warns “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”

British meteorologist Piers Corbyn appeared on Fox and Friends to not only celebrate his accurate prediction of a bone-chillingly cold winter, but to also share his disgust with what he believes to be the “failed science” behind global warming. Despite it often being mentioned that the consensus in the scientific community is that global warming is undisputedly occurring, Corbyn proudly goes against the grain and advocates for his hypothesis of the coming global cooling.

Predicting in November that winter in Europe would be “exceptionally cold and snowy, like Hell frozen over at times,” Corbyn suggested we should sooner prepare for another Ice Age than worry about global warming. Corbyn believed global warming “is complete nonsense, it’s fiction, it comes from a cult ideology.

There’s no science in there, no facts to back [it] up.” Furthermore, he disputed the underlying assumption of most scientists, arguing that higher carbon dioxide levels does not actually have the effect of increasing temperature, and instead global warming supporters “fiddle the facts to justify political attacks.”

Glenn Reynolds says 'I hope he’s wrong. Unfortunately, his predictions so far have been quite accurate.' Unfortunately, as I have stated many times on this blog over the last 2 years, we are quite overdue for a real ice age. I'll give a little background on the data, but the last graphic in this series is the most important. This is from a great piece over at WattsUpWithThat which illustrates why the current global warming alarmists are out of their gourd. First, a graph of temperature as reconstructed from NOAA ice cores clearly showing a hockey stick shape:

So time to panic, right? Well, not so fast! If you include time before 1400, you see this:

That gigantic peak at around 1000 AD is what is known as the medieval warming period (MWP) which the alarmists have done their darnedest to hide. I mean - there were no SUVs, or airplanes, or coal power plants, etc. It's quite inconvenient and that is why they hid the MWP and their 'hockey stick' data is fraudulent as I have pointed out many times in this blog:

Note the missing MWP in the infamous fraudulent 'hockey stick' graph. But there's even more. If we go back in time even more, the ice core has this to show:

What we know as the MWP is nothing! Back in Christ's day, it was significantly warmer than either today, or during the MWP. If we go back some more before that, it is even more revealing that the Earth right now is pretty cool compared to what it was for thousands of years:

Note the huge increase at the beginning of the graph. That's the planet coming out of the ice age. If we go back in time even earlier, we see that we should be absolutely happy with where we are at right now:

Yikes! Just look at all the above graphs again, and keep your eye on the current 'hockey stick' that is supposedly caused by man. And then look at that last graph. The climate has always changed. Always will. As I have said before on this blog, if all human activity were to cease tomorrow, the atmosphere wouldn't notice it. And the Coup de grâce:

So here's the scary part - we are way, way overdue for another ice age. Note that the high water mark where exist right now has been a lot longer than the 4 previous high temperature marks. We're living on borrowed time.
