Global Warming - The Finale

Revelations this week now show that the Global Warming business has been based on snake oil, smoke, and mirrors. Phil Jones, in an interview with the BBC, pretty much admits that the whole thing has been a pack of lies, although he claims that he still believes. He sounds like the old doomsayers who predict the end of times, take all their followers worldly goods, and prepare for the apocolypse on top of a hill somewhere.

Most of those folks wound up badly when the sun came up, and the sky failed to open.

Here's my favorite illustration of the problem:
The lower graph is the basic data regarding temperatures over the last 1100 years. This data has been around for a while, and is backed up by things like wheat-farming colonies in Greenland around 1200 AD, and emigration from Scandinavia in the 1600s due to massive crop failures. Note carefully the evidence of the impending ice age in the 1970s.

The upper graph is the "after" picture, showing what can be done with otherwise good data with just a bit of carefully applied statistical analysis. Note that the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age have both vanished, to be replaced with the destruction of humanity from overheating.

If I thought Al was down there, I'd suggest the area be surrounded by "crime scene" tape, and left until spring, when a more careful investigation could be carried out. Of course it might also make a good designated dump zone for excess snow being cleared.
