So much for "settled"...

Remember this when global warming cultists insist the science (snicker...) is 'settled'...
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. ((isn't that... conveeeeeeeeenient??? -- Jemison))

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’.
((But trust him... he's a scientist, after all... -- Jemison))

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.

Law and debate put the burden of proof on the affirmative. Advocating the tremendous changes their position calls for means the Global Warming Crowd needs a solid case, based on established data and rigorous standards of record keeping and ethics. It would appear to lack all of the above. Frankly, anyone in this group who claims science as their authority is insulting all those who diligently follow the evidence, wherever it leads.
