Can we now say that the science of global warming isn’t settled? What more do we need? The man behind the fraud to come out and admit that the earth hasn’t warmed in the past 15 years, and that the earth may have been warmer during the Medieval Warming Period than it is today?
Well then, good, because that’s precisely what Phil Jones, the disgraced director of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit recently admitted.
The Daily Mail: The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.
Unfortunately, it’s doubtful this news will change Obama’s plan to circumvent Congress through an executive order to advance his unpopular energy agenda.
