This headline in the Sunday Daily Mail is quite something:
People often note strange ad placement from the Google adwords at WUWT. Seems it’s a global problem.
WUWT readers may recall another prominent climate scientist who mentions “no statistically significant warming since 1995”. See this previous WUWT story:
A note from Richard Lindzen on statistically significant warming
It is quite interesting that Jones says the same thing.
Look at the automated Google ad up there!

“Climategate’s Phil Jones Confesses to Climate Fraud”
By Marc Sheppard
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/climategates_phil_jones_confes.html
So there we have it!! Based upon lies, shambolic record keeping, breaking the law over FOI requests we have taxation and environmental proposals that threaten the economies of all industrialsed nations.
Someone needs to go to gaol and I wany my green taxes back.
“Mr Harrabin, who conducted the interview for the BBC’s website, said the professor had been collating tens of thousands of pieces of data from around the world to produce a coherent record of temperature change.
That material has been used to produce the ‘hockey stick graph’ which is relatively flat for centuries before rising steeply in recent decades.”
I am sorry, did he just impy that 10’s of thousands of pieces of data went into the “hockey stick”……..
I’m delighted with the questions underlying this article, that BBC Roger Harrabin framed; delighted with Jones’ responses; still clear that the BBC, and even more Phil Jones, have got to drill deeper before all the gangrene is cleared in this operation.
To keep up the pressure at a tolerable level, I’d like to see here:
(a) a re-examination of the Soon and Baliunas paper that got trashed by concerted Team effort
(b) another look at Miskolczi. This recent article is excellent and readable for folk like me who still get a bit lost in the radiative physics. A great improvement on earlier material. It’s now endorsed by SPPI – Monckton is a brilliant mathematician, and has, at a guess, fully grasped Miskolczi’s maths. This is the classic proof that CO2 increase cannot warm the atmosphere, because the Earth already maintains constancy of GHG effect (done by lowering water vapour). The disproof theory is closely backed by the evidence. And NASA’s reaction described here clinches it to me.
btw, Anthony and mods, can the Tips thread be automatically archived so that only the last week shows? I cannot use this thread – always too long to bring up.
Wow!! if this bombshell does not blow the AGW-train of the tracks than what will?
And for whom does the bell toll ?
Do you really think this will be the end of the saga; or are we too far down the carbon trading path to halt the train?
OK. I am not a warmist, have not exactly been a skeptic, but have been following with interest the developing climate change debate. But this takes the biscuit!! We have been asked to change the way the whole world runs based on claims by someone that I would have sacked if they had been a technician in my lab, and had handled data so poorly. So now what?? Clearly there is no real consensus, so will governments do a u-turn and scrap all the ET schemes? and when? in Australia we still are not getting a lot of mainstream reporting from both sides of the climate change debate. To a large proportion of the population, carbon is still a problem, and those that think differently need to get with the program. So lots of money still being spent and committed to fixing a problem that may or may not be an issue.
It seems appropriate that your screen capture features a prominent photo of Professor Jones next to an advertisement for KY Sex Lube. It just goes to show that no matter how slippery his data gets, in the end we’re still getting f***ed.
Jones and others can’t explain it, because it didn’t happen. It was a statistical fluke, caused by a series of cold winters in the late 1970’s to early 1980’s. I call this the Abilene Effect, based on the small Texas town of Abilene, with data from CRU going back to 1886.
http://sowellslawblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/no-warming-from-co2.html
But, the debate was over! The science was settled! The deniers were flat earthers, or paid shills, or dupes. And we mustn’t let them publish, even if “we have to change the definition of peer review”.
Well, all I can say to those at the CRU and the rest, is that you’ve made the history books, boys! Biggest scientific fraud in history!
You’d think the MSM would be interested in covering that.
Why doesn’t Jones question himself with that the warming seems to follow a ~30 year cycle ?
1850-1880 Warming
1880-1910
1910-1940 Warming
1940-1970
1970-2000 Warming
….
Despite what I feel about the distortion of science by people like Jones, I do wish him well (I mean his mental state). Being under enormous pressure like this (even if self-inflicted) must be horrific). If I were him, I would come clean like he has to the Daily Mail and lay all the cards on the table. Only then can he hope to move on with his life. He should retire and start gardening. This ‘no warming since 95’ could be quite explosive being as it’s he who has admitted it. It will interesting to see what that fool Moonbat makes of it. I would also like to hear Vicky Pope’s explanations too.
What about 1994: has there been any warming since then?
Gosh, Phil looks so athletic doing all of those backward flips. Cheers.
I hope someone eventually leaks the current Mann-Jones correspondence.
Professor Jones goes from being a public servant to D list minor celebrity in one leap.
What next celebrity Big Brother, I suppose that could be appropriate. Maybe Get Me Out of Here I’m a Celebrity.
Of course, none of Jones’s current shenanigan’s are planned to distract attention or pervert the independant investigation by his mates on the Team and friends of the now discredited CRU at the University of East Anglia.
It is cheering news to know that tax payers money has been used to fund someone whom even his colleagues think is disorganised.
Well,you know the calcuations I made for that bridge that collapsed?
Mmmmm well?
I lost them?
I think that’s negligence and incompetence in one hit.
Harsh but fair.
Get me out of here I can’t make it up anymore?
Your fired!
Not only that but Anthony made it into today’s (UK) Sunday Times

@Glenn Skankey Haldane exactly what I thought when I read that, it’s the same argument you hear for belief in God or miracles. It could be the words of some religious extremist – ‘we have no scientific explanation so it must be an act of God’. Amazing.
We’re reading the words of a fellow who realizes “the jig is up”. That leads us to one of two conclusions: 1) Before the fall, he was a conscious fraudster or 2) He had become so caught up in the “tribalism” of AGW versus the skeptics that the man became self-deluded.
Reading the exposed E-mail files in conjunction with Jones’ recent candor moves me toward the “self-deluded” conclusion. Now that the self-imposed veil has been lifted, what Phil Jones must be realizing about himself is worse punishment than any court could impose on any serious scientist. We may be witnessing a human tragedy of epic proportions.
Dr Jones saying no warming?
Next thing you know, Drs Mann and Briffa will be trashing tree rings.
Don’t fall for this. It’s a trap. They’re just trying to confuse us.
And the countdown begins… 3… 2… 1…
“Throw him under a bus…!” They exclaim.
Watch the alarmists now distance themselves from Mr Jones.
Glenn Haldane:
Yes that is a fair summary of the AGW case. It shows there is no science behind AGW.
Another error in the IPCC, this one minor, but:

Dont feel sorry for jones. He obviously now has a proffesional advising him on how to deal with the media.Last week we had im the victim suicide piece, this week enough stuff to appease some critics. His pension, the universities image is whats on his mind. and mods, please dont snip this last line- its not about data- its about money
