Climategate takes a U-turn

A report at the link below says a scientist at the center of the climategate row admits there has been no global warming since 1995!

Highlights from the report:

1. Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing*

2. There has been no global warming since 1995.

3. Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes

*The so-called 'hockey stick graph' was a hoax anyway according to a report at the second link below.

The story has to do with a data set that has been used to support the alarming hockey stick graph that appears to show temperatures rising abnormally in the last decade or so.

It turns out that the hockey stick is only possible because the sample size was reduced from 65 samples to 10 samples. When a different set of 34 samples is used from the same general area, the hockey stick disappears!

In order to show what climate alarmists wanted, they cherry-picked the data.
