Trees below this elevation are not as effective temperature recorders as trees at treeline."<br /><br />So Mann just says "Good thing we used the right bristlecones - the ones that are effective temperature recorders."Swood1000https://www.blogger.com/profile/16383148208318742882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-15569676888938176622014-11-05T21:06:32.708-08:002014-11-05T21:06:32.708-08:00I suppose to be polite, I should have said "S...I suppose to be polite, I should have said "Sweet Frack All".
