HE ADMITS
1) THERE HAS BEEN NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL WARMING IN THE PAST 15 YEARS
2) IT IS POSSIBLE THE EARTH WAS WARMER DURING MEDIEVAL TIMES THAN IT IS NOW
3) HE HAS LOST MUCH OF THE DATA THAT SUPPORTED THE "HOCKEY STICK" GRAPH

Most lies given time will unravel, and this one is certainly doing that. Those on the side of the global warming activist are having to scramble and I for one am enjoying the show!
It is a lot of fun. Crack open a beer and grab a sandwich. I think this show is gonna go on for awhile.

Wow. Quite a nice set of exaggerations and misinformation here.
1) This is a long way from "There has been no global warming since 1995", which is how many are incorrectly interpreting his statement. What he actually said is that a warming trend is established and is "quite close" to the 95% statistical confidence level for this short period. He doesn't give the exact number, but let's say it was 90%. This would mean that there's a 90% chance that the warming is a real trend, not just random weather variability. There is absolutely nothing surprising about this.
2) This also means that it's possible that the earth was NOT warmer during the Medieval Warming Period than it is now. All he really said is that it's not yet clear whether or not the MWP was global in extent.
3) He said nothing of the kind. First, the word "lost" doesn't even appear in the interview. Second, there are lots of "hockey stick" graphs, not just one, done by many different scientists using many different datasets. Third, the most famous of these, and the one you're probably referring to, was done by Michael Mann, not Phil Jones, so the data wasn't "his" to "lose".
