Default Corbyn's storms?

And a Dutch TV station interviews an irate Corbyn, suggesting he was wrong.
It is a few minutes into the programme. He accuses the Dutch Met Service
(KNMI) of putting out false information. There follows a piece by two
weather presenters. I think they are asked about his "forecast" as the
word "superstorm" appears several times

Programme is "Kassa" - a fairly light-hearted consumer show.

The presenter

- compares 5 weather forecasts for a particular day from TV channels
and websites with the actual weather and says which is most accurate;
- visits "Meteoconsult" and decribes briefly how observations are
processed through models whose output is interpreted into a forecast;
- compares several forecasts for 2/3 days ahead and compares them with
the actual weather;
- interviews Piers Corbyn with subtitles;
- interviews 2 presenters whose forecasts turned out best in the
comparisons made earlier; asks them how they produce their forecasts;
asks them what they think of Piers Corbyn's long-term predictions.
They are just as sceptical as posters on here are ...

Having long drawn out debates with this character's "mates" is all
very well.

To be honest, he'll just soak up yet more publicity.

The alternative choice would be: Ignore

Over-sensationlist media make me sick (look at the joke, The Weather
Channel has now become in the States)

Sorry, life is too short for this kind of trash
