He is not government funded, so why should he give the details out and I am not sure what you are getting at with the rest of your reply.

Well if he wants to get his credibility back, he needs to reveal the nature of his smoke and mirrors machine, because other UK meteorologists think he's a looney. He has a credibility gap. I mean, he wouldn't need to reveal the exact brand of tea leaves he uses, just the process.

All he has to do is give information out about his results which he is doing.

As for others thinking he is looney. Well he is better than they are and they are just unhappy that they dont know what he know and cant do what he does. They look like noobies against him and they have wasted all their education on a subject that is not world class, so to speak. No wonder they turn to name calling.

He's "better" because he publishes his own stats, and discards any inconvenient predictions that he got wrong.

Well you know, if you followed the information correctly, you would find out that he gives out information before the event. He also proudly gives out the accuracy of his predictions or test, after the event.

You can do better than this mos.

The point I was making is that he never talks about his failed predictions (the majority of them, which magically disappear after the event), and he censors anybody who mentions them on his blog. His "accuracy" is self-announced, and the books are not just slightly cooked. They are well done.

Here is an article in Rational Wiki, complete with some back-up articles

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Piers_Corbyn

I'm not sure how anybody can describe himself as an astrophysicist if he flunked his course.

By the way, before you go throwing around Left Wing labels, here is an interesting point about Piers Corbyn:

Quote:

Corbyn also has a history of being an activist in the "International Marxist Group" for squatter's rights

Be careful about who you believe.

His process is observing the Sun's activity and monitoring the coronal mass ejections (CME's) and the solar winds that follow, and in what direction they are travelling ... ie away or towards Earth.

Nothing airy fairy just good science.
