I'm glad I never fell for the global warming / climate change hoax. Because now I don't have to do mental gymnastics trying to hang on to false beliefs!

Global warming / climate change ... It's all lies, lies, lies.

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

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

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

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday 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.

THE GREAT CLIMATE CHANGE RETREAT

Professor Phil Jones, who is at the centre of the “Climategate” affair, conceded that there has been no “statistically significant” rise in temperatures since 1995.

The admission comes as new research casts serious doubt on temperature records collected around the world and used to support the global warming theory.

‘Trust Us, We’re Experts!’

The big headline at Little Green Footballs? “Overnight Open Thread.” Lot of crickets chirping overnight, it seems.

WaPo Still Practicing Religion in the Public Square

“The idea that the IPCC can or should strive to be infallible is really not helpful,” Pielke said. “When errors and mistakes are inevitably found, the fall is that much further. . . . There’s a real risk that the public perception could swing [toward greater disbelief in climate science]. Even though the reality is that the science — the underlying science — hasn’t changed.”

This is the language of religion. Science isn’t a matter of belief or disbelief, it is a matter of evidence, predictability, and falsification.

The slant of this WaPo article is to support the “true believers,” and it is obvious that these writers (I hesitate to use the word “reporter,” with its implications of objectivity) number themselves among such believers.

Hmmm ... I wonder if all this climate change / global warming garbage has anything to do with one-world government?

Shhhh!
None dare call it conspiracy ...

    FULL RETREAT! Hey wears Al Gore. He seems to be MIA. Probably huddled in a corner somewhere with his Nobel Peace Prize crying.

    "The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory."

    Actually, the hockey stick graph is used by scientists.
    Not "climate change advocates".
    Spin will only work on the ignorant.

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

    That's not what he said.

    "And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming."

    Um, nope. He didn't say that either. That's a quote-mine.

    Somebody needs to go check their original sources and actually read what Professor Jones said himself without a denialist filter.
    Plus it would be a good idea if you found out what the term "statistically significant" means.
    Here's a helpful link.
