RUSH: You gotta listen to this, folks. These are Democrats complaining global warming proved by no snow. No snow in Washington, 2002, proves global warming. Yesterday and the day before, all of this snow in Washington proves global warming. They both can’t be right. Here’s Barbara Boxer, October 29th, 2007, on the Senate floor.

The Migrant Mind: Another IPCC mistake--Bias with residence time

The data doesn't support the IPCC contention that carbon dioxide has a residence time of 200 years. If that were true, we should have far more C14-based carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we do. Its short residence time shows that the IPCC is simply making this up as they go along.

Real Climate: Spin and Facts « the Air Vent

“As far as we’re aware, so far only one–or at most two–legitimate errors have been found in the AR4:”

Global warming: Phil Jones and the upcoming investigation--the Kabuki Dance begins

Given that the make-up of the investigating panel is already known to be heavily sympathetic towards CRU, given that the prima facie evidence shows real and serious wrong-doing, given that Jones has already stepped down temporarily for the investigation, what seems clear to me is that Jones is trying to avoid getting thrown under a bus or used as a sacrificial lamb. Some of the things he said in the BBC interview were just dangerous enough to the party line as to hint that, if he is made the whipping boy, he might whip back.
