My analysis: Piers Corbyn = fraudster.

You ask him to put his method under scientific analysis, and see
what he says!

Gee whiz, he might just refer to Dennis Wheeler's peer reviewed
article which reports exactly that which you appear to think undone:
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics 63:29-34, 2001

And on the basis of that one favourable study you're willing to say he's
right? ...

I've never claimed that Corbyn is right. I do offer my observation that
the group whom I've come to call the "global governance crowd" of
calamitologists seem to focus exclusively on solar irradiance changes
when considering how much of recent temperature changes can be
attributed to sun.

No they don't.

...Corbyn appears well ahead of them in following the
data to other aspects of solar effects on Earth.

So who provides this data, if people are focusing exclusively on what you
term "solar irradiance"?

You've just contradicted yourself.

... Piers loves to brag about the results but yet he is not willing to
let his methods be reviewed and tested, and for heavens sake, he's a
physicist not a meteorologist.

He's a businessman. I sure understand his reluctance to give away that
which feeds his and his employees' families.

Exactly. He couldn't hack it within his own scientific discipline, so
he turned to business?

No Cheers,
