Oh, and if you want the original BBC interview (a right wing extremist site if there ever was one….LOL) here it is:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8511670.stm
[i][b]B – Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming[/b]
Yes, but only just. I also calculated the trend for the period 1995 to 2009. This trend (0.12C per decade) is positive, but not significant at the 95% significance level. The positive trend is quite close to the significance level. Achieving statistical significance in scientific terms is much more likely for longer periods, and much less likely for shorter periods.[/i]
You can read the entire interview. He admits there IS NO STATISTICAL ELEVATION IN TEMPERATURES. Now, this from the guy that formed the bulk of Gore’s Nobel Prize winning book.
Now, that doesn’t mean global warming doesn’t exist. It just means that if you have any sort of scientific brain, you have to be more skeptical of the data you are seeing. Unless you want to live in the dark ages, you cannot dogmatically believe or disbelieve global warming…the facts simply are not there yet.
And ironically, Dr. Jones agrees with ME:
[i]
[b]N – When scientists say “the debate on climate change is over”, what exactly do they mean – and what don’t they mean?
[/b]
It would be supposition on my behalf to know whether all scientists who say the debate is over are saying that for the same reason. [b]I don’t believe the vast majority of climate scientists think this. This is not my view. There is still much that needs to be undertaken to reduce uncertainties, not just for the future, but for the instrumental (and especially the palaeoclimatic) past as well.[/b][/i]
