Climategate U-turn scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995.

Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon. And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no "statistically significant warming."

He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998.
