“Blip this” fraud man! It never ceases to amaze me that more folks don’t see the fraud perpetrated by these hucksters. Al Gore laughs all the way to the bank!

You should change everything about your life even though I am just sort of disorganized and confused. And incompetent.

And a liar.

Fire his ass, prosecute for fraud?

Or send him to be a tenure reviewer in the biology dept. of UAH. /sarc>

Billybob, you're a lawyer and IIRC you've argued in front of the Supreme Court.

What would happen to a lawyer who tried this line in front of a judge?

What would happen to (say) a defendant in a financial fraud case who attempted this defense?

Cheers!

Yeah, the dog ate the thermometer too and you can see it sticking out behind kind of holding his tail out like an upside down hockeystick!

These people need to be in JAIL!

They tried to take our money and freedom on the basis of something they KNEW was sloppy!

Instead look for them to get awards and bonuses - who says crime doesn’t pay. If you’re a big lib, it pays very well....

He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent warming could not.

He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no ‘statistically significant’ warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend...

So Jones is saying that 1910 to 1940 warming and 1975 to 1998 warming can be explained by natural processes, but more recent warming cannot. He further says that there has been no statistically significant warming in the last 15 years. That would cover 1998 to now. So the only warming he claims that cannot be explained by natural causes is the warming that didn't actually take place!

This actually makes sense to me, in the context that Dr. Jones has committed so many sins, by commission and omission that this is all he has that could possibly constitute a defense. He is guilt ridden and facing disgrace, civil suites and perhaps criminal charges. That’s the best he can do, because of the enormity of his many sins.

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.

The admissions will be seized on by anyone caring about the scientific truth. As they should be.

Hmm, only one guy in charge of Global Warming data and if he loses the records he forgets where the data to support his theory came from?

Balderdash.

To imagine paying for a college education or being in the pipeline on research, papers, results and career-generating decisions and work that is based on the frauds this has perpetrated against students, families, banks, communities and entire faculty should lead to multiple class-action suits. I don’t care who you are, this is a sink hole the size of the Grand Canyon.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Misplaced them in the shredder.

"Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers."
Ahhheemmmm. BS. By his own admissions within the body of his emails to his cronies he admitted they must continue to figure out ways to hide the decline in global temperatures, and must be careful of the FOA issue.
Now let the American L/MSM finally stop hiding and start to do some honest reporting for a change.
It would be nice to see some accurate checks of what this paper claims Jones has admitted.
