This is from an Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached article. What an idiot. The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. We now know that the science of climate change is very inexact, and that much of the inexactness is indeed man-made!

Why don't you send him an e-mail and ask him how many years' results he would regard as significant? After all, twelve is not too far away from double seven.
Hi,
The real issue here is how a few climate scientists have been able to influence a whole research sector to their own ends. See

for more information and blow by blow coverage.
Adolf - A couple of days incease in temperatures is probably enough for that.
