Climate Deniers Liars

From here:

Is The WSJ Editorial Page Getting Yellower?
As noted in yesterday's TheGreenGrok, the media coverage of climategate has not been exemplary of journalism at its best. Now outlets like the WSJ are using the occasion of the Jones interview to pile on -- using quotations taken out of context to press their attack on climate scientists. RealClimate has a nice piece on how the Daily Mail inaccurately spun the Jones interview to undermine the science.

The WSJ's editorial follows a similar path. Here is one example.

The piece states: "Phil Jones ... acknowledged to the BBC that there hasn't been statistically significant warming since 1995." OK, that is what he said, sort of. Why sort of? Because the WSJ conveniently neglected to include the context.

Actually, Jones said that there was a warming trend in global temperatures since 1995 -- at a rate of 0.12 degrees Centigrade per decade (or 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade). But because of the short time period, the rate was not quite statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. It was "quite close to the confidence level" but not quite there.

Climate deniers, like the Libertards, are liars.
