• JONES ADMITS "NO WARMING SINCE 1995"

  From The Daily Mail On-Line

  Professor Phil Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.

  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.
  
  Professor Jones told the BBC 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.

  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.
