Jones and Hansen and Pachauri, oh my: Reuters hits a climate fraudster trifecta

2010 so far tied for hottest year

"I think it's too close to call. Based on these numbers it'll be second, but it depends on how warm November and December are," said Phil Jones, director of Britain's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), at the University of East Anglia, which says 1998 was the record year so far.

"I would not be surprised if most or all groups found that 2010 was tied for the warmest year," said NASA's James Hansen.

"The trend is overwhelming, particularly over the past 50 years," said Rajendra Pachauri, head of the U.N. panel of climate scientists.

"I wouldn't read these numbers for a particular year as very compelling, we have to take a historical view," he told Reuters.
