Not that the US media are paying any attention, but have you seen the give and take between the BBC and Phil Jones, the (now) former head of the CRU on his previous claims for the IPCC about man made global warming? Read on…H/T Jim Karlock:

BBC: Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming
CRU Head, Dr. Jones: Yes, but only just.

BBC:  Do you agree that from January 2002 to the present there has been statistically significant global cooling?
CRU Head, Dr. Jones:  No. This period is even shorter than 1995-2009. The trend this time is negative (-0.12C per decade), but this trend is not statistically significant.

BBC:- Do you agree that according to the global temperature record used by the IPCC, the rates of global warming from 1860-1880, 1910-1940 and 1975-1998 were identical?
CRU Head, Dr. Jones: So, in answer to the question, the warming rates for all 4 periods are similar and not statistically significantly different from each other. < http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/science/nature/8511670.stm>

BBC- If you agree that there were similar periods of warming since 1850 to the current period, and that the MWP is under debate, what factors convince you that recent warming has been largely man-made?
CRU Head, Dr. Jones: The fact that we can’t explain the warming from the 1950s by solar and volcanic forcing – see my answer to your question D. < http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/science/nature/8511670.stm>

There you have it:
The rate of warming was nothing unusual, there has been no warming since 1995, cooling since 2002, and we know man did it because we can’t figure out anything else.
