Today, Professor Phil Jones whose data underlies nearly all of the global warming science is quoted in the Daily Mail from the UK as saying "that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming."
This is an earth shaking revelation. It means that the very person whose work supposedly proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that man made global warming is true not only admits that global warming may not be man made, but that there has been no global warming for the last 15 year. In other words, Al Gore's film will now be retitled as "An Incovenient Lie"! Cap and Trade is a farce which would cripple the US economy for no apparent reason. The snooty fools who called global warming sceptics the equivalent of flat earthers and holocaust deniers have been shown to be wrong!
In my opinion, however, the issue of climate change is too important to decide in the press or in Congress. President Obama should immediately task either NOAA or NASA to conduct an extensive worldwide review of temperature date for the last five hundred years. Obviously there will not be much for the early part of that period, but it would be great to have the raw data published and available on the web for all to see. We could also get the analysis of NASA as to what is scientifically verifiable with regard to the temperature. We already know that from the thirteenth to the beginning of the nineteenth centuries there was a mini ice age which kept temperatures down and that since about 1820 there has been a steady warming trend, a trend which began before any material increse in emissions from mankind.
It would be nice to see just once when instead of politics and beliefs, the President used actual science to inform his decisions.
