Climategate: Phil Jones Still Has More Reflecting To Do
Phil Jones’ responses to the BBC were notable for the fact that the BBC actually asked some probing questions. Also, Jones actually answered them.
But of more significance was that, although Jones was willing to admit some of the obvious problems with the warmist position (such as whether the 1975-98 warming is unprecedented, and whether the Medieval Warm Period was warmer), Jones remains unwilling to take a broader and more objective view of climate science despite having had ample time to contemplate all that has transpired.
In this, his views may be representative of many of the committed warmists central to the preparation of the IPCC reports. But this certainly is not the objective viewpoint that the EPA — and others — should insist on in making multi-trillion dollar regulatory decisions.
In particular:
1. Jones admits that the 1975-98 warming as measured by HadCRUT is similar to earlier warming periods.
This is obvious, but it is significant that someone so close to the IPCC is willing to admit it — given that warmists have so strongly emphasized how unprecedented warming was during this period.
Reflecting, my butt. He needs to get his butt out of the “fake science” business and disappear into the sunset. Oh, he’ll get a healthy pension, now, won’t he.
Am I right in discerning a falling out among thieves, as the Jones/Trenberth/Wigmore camp and Mann/Briffa/Schmidt camp try subtly to throw each other under the bus?

It’s also egregiously fallacious reasoning.
The proof of falsification: It’s a car. It’s not a Ford or a Buick. Therefore it can only be a Yugo.
The biggest scandal of all is how all their data is cut off prior to 1850 (CRU and others) or 1880 (NASA) when there in fact exist single-site records going back three centuries, which almost all show absolutely no AGW signal at all, and yet they are all from classically old cities that warm up on their own without carbon dioxide:

As far as former warming being similar to past warming, the NOAA’s own web site proves this case…if you remove their ridiculously misleading graphic arts tricks:

A half Truth is still a 101 % Lie since It still deceives far more than the facts it has yet to reveal for OBVIOUS reasons .
The Guilty Politicians .
One suspects Phil Jones is costing the UN , Obama , Maurice Strong and Al Gore Millions to say nothing more .
RICO the lot of them.
Mr. Carlin, thank you for your diligence in pursuing the truth in spite of the personal cost that has come to you. While this may sound melodramatic, your actions are that of an American hero. Thank you very much.
It is easy for Jones now to be submissive on Global Warming. Many of these Global Warming Zealots pushed this as a religion.
Since the fallout from “Climategate”, as it has become known, these WEALTHY people pushing Taxes on us for Global warming should be put in the corrupt category.
Just saw the polar bear lie ( that the population numbers are in decline)regurgitated on the NBC Olympic coverage. Until all these people start being honest we are subject to the greatest fraud ever in science.
I wish one of the vaunted global warming scientists would comment on the study, just reported:
By Gary Thompson, in American Thinker 2/17/10:
“Computer-simulated results based on climate models are never a replacement for actual measured data, and they should never be used to draw conclusions when actual measured data contradicts those models. So the results of three different peer-reviewed papers show that over a period of 36 years, there is no reduction of OLR emissions in wavelengths that CO2 absorb. Therefore, the AGW hypothesis is disproven. “
