\"ImageImage\/Article Source Link Q&A: Professor Phil Jones, BBC News<\/a><\/p>\n

History may see the interview of CRU\u2019s Professor Phil Jones by the BBC\u2019s Roger Harrabin on 12 February 2010 as the opening of the end-phase of the long-running \u201calarmists versus sceptics\u201d debate.<\/p>\n

The gap between these two schools has never yawned as widely as media reports often suggest. Both agree that climate is always changing, that we have recently been in a warming period (with tiny temperature changes), that \u201cgreenhouse theory\u201d has some validity, and that human activities are capable of impacting climate. The core dispute lies in the detection and attribution of \u2018anthropogenic global warming\u2019 (AGW), and is brought out in the following exchange:<\/p>\n

Harrabin \u2013 How confident are you that warming has taken place and that humans are mainly responsible? <\/p>\n

Jones – I\u2019m 100% confident that the climate has warmed. As to the second question, I would go along with IPCC Chapter 9 \u2013 there\u2019s evidence that most of the warming since the 1950s is due to human activity. <\/p>\n

Sceptics say any human causation was trivial. This dispute was addressed directly:<\/p>\n

Harrabin – what factors convince you that recent warming has been largely man-made?<\/p>\n

Jones – The fact that we can\u2019t explain the warming from the 1950s by solar and volcanic forcing.
