Piers Corbyn is described by Wikipedia as an English weather forecaster, businessman, anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist. With this in mind, it's hardly surprising that he thinks that climate change has nothing to do with human activity. Yet, Zerohedge spins this into a big deal, citing the man's credentials as a physicist and weather forecaster.
We're supposed to believe that the interviewer was genuinely surprised by Mr. Corbyn's position, and we must completely ignore the fact that this interview was aired by RT, one of Putin's favourite propaganda outlets.
Russia is the world biggest exporter of hydrocarbons, so this revelation by Mr. Corbyn is hardly inconvenient. The interview was almost certainly staged. It's not an argument for or against man made global warming. But it may mark the beginning of a counter-offensive in the battle between green energy and hydrocarbons; a battle that's likely to intensify as we move into the coming winter.
