Phil Jones, 2008: "Solar forcing hasn't changed in the last 50 years...We are warming - and at a faster rate than ever before"

We know why Ice Ages occur - Milankovitch forcing. The timescales are know. There is no dispute about them at all. Milanovitch forcing doesn't have any effect on 30-year timescales. Solar forcing hasn't changed in the last 50 years. We've had more volcanoes in the last 40 years than since the early-20th century, so we should be cooling. We are warming - and at a faster rate than ever before.  [Jones, 2008]

Flashback: Phil Jones, 2009: "Tim, Chris, I hope you're not right about the lack of warming lasting till about 2020"

And if the world was still warming in 2009, why did Jones refer to "lack of warming"?
