Phil Jones Speaking

Phil Jones is breaking his silence in a New Scientist interview:

• I know things aren't going to be the same as they were pre-November. It's just about learning to live with it.
• Unless the alternative views are in the peer-reviewed literature, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change cannot refer to them.
• Muir Russell showed that there was no perversion of the peer-review process. The papers that we were referring to in that email were bad science.
  
• There should be an acceptance that the climate has warmed since measurements began. OK, there's then debate about what caused that warming. But I do find it difficult engaging with people who deny the evidence and say the world has not warmed.
• I haven't deleted any emails that were the subject of FOI requests, but I have deleted emails...

Evidently CRU is back in business: A little bit of warming, maybe, but what may have caused the warming is of no interest. And bad science is bad science. The message from CRU/IPCC is the same, but things aren't going to be the same as they were pre-November...

What is Phil Jones anticipating?
