No Global Warming Since 1995

The embattled ex-head of the research center at the heart of the Climate-gate scandal dropped a bombshell over the weekend, admitting in an interview with the BBC that there has been no global warming over the past 15 years.

Phil Jones, former head of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, made a number of eye-popping statements to the BBC's climate reporter on Sunday. Data from CRU, where Jones was the chief scientist, is key evidence behind the claim that the growth of cities (which are warmer than countryside) isn't a factor in global warming and was cited by the U.N.'s climate science body to bolster statements about rapid global warming in recent decades.

It just gets worse and worse. Now we learn that data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing, and warming periods have happened before, which everybody knows.

The academic at the center 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. Ok, his only job is to keep track of the information, and he can’t do it? And governments are making policy based on random, poorly stored and poorly indexed data?

Plus, Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests. Hmmm, ok, I’m gullible.
The data which he has lost, failed to file, failed to keep track of, or otherwise fumbled away, is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory, but he can’t produce the data and refuses FOI requests. I see a big problem here.

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. Now there’s a shocker. The evil “deniers” have been saying this for decades, and because “they” said it, the leftist environmentalists dismissed the claim because it didn’t come from themselves?

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming. 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.

The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions, and other oppressive legislation.

Professor Jones has been accused of ‘scientific fraud’ for allegedly deliberately suppressing information and refusing to share vital data with critics. Well, I for one, have been saying this for years. Add to this fraud, the “Tribal mentality” of the closed, global warming, science fraternity, and we’ve got one really big “scientific” problem.


Sceptics believe there is strong evidence that the world was warmer between about 800 and 1300 AD than now, because of evidence of high temperatures in northern countries. And throwing a handful of CO2 into the air and claiming it raises global temperatures, is complete nonsense anyway.

This set of lies will cause untold problems with governments trying to solve non existing problems. Indeed it will.

“Socialism can really be defined today as environmentalism. This movement seeks to control all aspects of society, to dictate what people eat, what farmers grow, how we travel, build, work, cap and trade, and climate change. Essentially, all the advances towards socialism have occurred within the environmental realm.”

And this just in: “on Saturday, November 21, 2009, Weather Channel Founder files suit against Al Gore for fraud. 30,000 meteorologists are banding together to sue former Vice President Al Gore for fraud in perpetuating the global warming fraud.” Wow. Sanity is being restored...and so much for President Obama's "overwhelming evidence" assertion. Oops.
