My category for these posts is “Global Warming B.S.”, but baloney is just as appropriate a term. There has been so much of it piling up for the last few decades that we could eat Global Warming sandwiches for eons and still not make a dent in it. However, if that be your culinary jones, better get as much as you can ’cause the Anthropogenic Global Warming movement is unraveling faster than an ol’ sweater left with a pack o’ cats — or somethin’ like that!

Yesterday, in Britain’s Mail Online we find out that Climate Scientist and Climategate-email-participant Professor Phil Jones is a really lousy records keeper, possibly if not probably has lost the original data records that were used for the infamous Hockey Stick graph, not to mention — but I’ll do that anyway — he concedes that there probably hasn’t been any statistically significant warming in the last decade and a half. What’s up with that?

Asked about whether he lost track of data, Professor Jones said: ‘There is some truth in that. We do have a trail of where the weather stations have come from but it’s probably not as good as it should be.

‘There’s a continual updating of the dataset. Keeping track of everything is difficult. Some countries will do lots of checking on their data then issue improved data, so it can be very difficult. We have improved but we have to improve more.’

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.

And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled.

Don’t ya just LUV it when those that have been screaming for over a decade that the science of man-caused Global Warming is settled, that there is a scientific consensus devoid of rational dissent on the issue, that Global Warming deniers are as loony as Holocaust deniers finally have to pull their heads out of their asses, breath some real non-global-warmed air and admit that, well . . . maybe the science isn’t really settled after all. Hate to break it to them poor, misunderstood Global Warming Hysterics, but when you find yourself caught in a shit storm, the stuff just keeps flyin’ at ya! Like this for instance:

“The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change,” said John Christy, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the IPCC.

The doubts of Christy and a number of other researchers focus on the thousands of weather stations around the world, which have been used to collect temperature data over the past 150 years.

These stations, they believe, have been seriously compromised by factors such as urbanisation, changes in land use and, in many cases, being moved from site to site.

Christy has published research papers looking at these effects in three different regions: east Africa, and the American states of California and Alabama.

“The story is the same for each one,” he said. “The popular data sets show a lot of warming but the apparent temperature rise was actually caused by local factors affecting the weather stations, such as land development.”

Uh, yeah! Let’s keep the weather stations where we collect temperature data to support our religion theory of man-caused Global Warming next to heat sources and on heat-generating land fills. That’ll teach them pesky deniers to doubt that Gaia’s having a big-time mankind-caused hot flash! Over at Hot Air Ed Morrissey comments:

These revelations come on top of a series of embarrassing disclosures about the IPCC report. Another research team at Loughborough University may expose even more. Terry Wills will publish a paper in Climatic Change that will argue that the IPCC misread its data, and that the temperature fluctuations it saw are just as likely to be random weather than any systemic trend, whether caused by greenhouse gases or not.

The struts have begun to collapse under AGW hysteria.

Michelle Malkin has a great roundup of information and sources and ends her post with this, “Eco-hysteria doesn’t deliver world peace. It threatens it.” The Anchoress has needs, and a request that I totally agree with:

I want me freaking incandescent bulbs back, and I want them now. And I want the space program refunded with all this global warming hoo-hah money.

Stop the man-caused Global Warming nonsense NOW! Can we do that”

Yes, we can!

Did I really just write that?

Sheesh!
