Christopher Monckton has become one of my favorite people. His dogged determination and dedication to facts and his level-headed dignity and humour in the face of frothing moonbats is admirable and exemplary.
Jones has admitted that he is not very good at keeping data tidily. And that, in a scientist, is a startling omission. Seekers after truth in the natural world, from Leonardo da Vinci to Isaac Newton, were famous for keeping notebooks. There they carefully recorded all of their observations.
...Yet Phil Jones had not managed the most basic task of anyone compiling a temperature record. He had not kept, in good order, the data on which the record was based. [One] cannot help but be struck by the sheer ineptitude of the whole proceeding.
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.
