Phil Jones throws in the towel

The man at the center of the Climategate scandal is now admitting that the “science” behind global warming alarmism is not even a house of cards, but a house of mirrors (Daily Mail, UK):

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 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.

Those last two admissions essentially explode the theory of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) – the “scientific” term for global warming alarmism.

Consider that just three months ago, Jones was the AGW guru leading the world’s elites towards “Hopenhagen.”

Forget a bullet, I’d say the globe has dodged a very large missile.
