"There has been no global warming since 1995"
 

Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

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.

Professor 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.

Watch this spot for a Skybird 6 page dissertation as to why this article is all bunk! :D:O: :up:

J/K Skybird. Have fun!

I'm going to take the lazy mans route.

The daily fail rocks!

@Antikristuseke

Thanks for that video. I'm still totally amazed how people can still think "It's cold outside my house, therefore there can't be global warming...".:doh:

I haven't said there can't be global warming - but what I, and many skeptics have said - is that there is no irrefutable proof of global warming. What there is - is manipulated data, lies and hyperbole about what amounts to a weather forecast for the next 50-100 years, and beyond.

They can't tell me for sure if its going to rain next week or not - but because it is a method to manipulate society, they want to claim they KNOW beyond a doubt what is going to happen to the weather in 100 years or more.

Sorry - not buying that.

Follow the money - and you will see how Global Warming is a political agenda, and little else.

The simple answer: they're dumbasses.

I have, first: it's my birthday today and thus I am in a generous mood, second: I have pointed at the >undisputed< temperature data for the past decade and the difference between "weather" and "climate" repeatedly and thus feel free to skip this round. As long as you cannot prove that all out weather satellites in at least said decade have been malfunctioning, this story now is not really anything that costs me any sleep.

Well in that case - happy bday skybird :up:

Hrm, you know I never did see a hole in the sky some years ago.... did I need to be living in Antarctica at the time, or could only science people see it? I jest. :D

And with that, I'll just wait until there is irrefutable evidence one way or another before I panic. Will say though that the wind farms here were spectacular at first sight... at least global warming has helped bring us some eye candy.

Oh, and Happy Birthday there, Skybird. :woot:

;) Thanks. I had a good day. Parents, a very close friend and her husband came for lunch - which was a Raclette. Great invention, this Raclette. :DL

Especially when you have to clean the pans of the dried cheese afterwards.:D

Happy Birthday btw.:woot:

Congratulations Skybird! :woot:

Emaille pans. Let the cheese dry, then knock it off with a Zewa. Cleaning is easy. :)

Again: Schroeder, Fish, and others: thanks for the cheers! :salute:

Climate change! :haha:

:woot:many long years to come

Ironic a thread on global cooling has become Sky's birthday thread. But then most of us are not going to comment on an article from the daily mail.


Happy belated birthday Skybird and many more :DL

Nobody hijacks threads like I do...! :D In the Chinese calender it is the year of the buccaneer!

Happy bday sky...

Now heres something from a 'little' bit more reputable source than the daily mail.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ns-to-unravel/

Dont see much mention of the current weather conditions there.

I like this part:

This guy takes it seriously !
