Co-authors Gergis & Steig are well-known AGW data fudgers in the past.

But there are two issues I think have greater significance:<br />1. After acknowledging the paucity of source data for southern reconstructions, the author "validates" the Mann hockey stick. Any reviewer should be unaccepting of the new southern reconstruction absent the full Monty of data source and reconstruction methods. The more I read the less I believe proxy reconstructions in the first place. <br />2. The paper author declares model concordance demonstrates skill, when the obvious contrast (model vs. observation) shows no skill.<br />This paper could be a useful tool to show how weak the warmist case is.<br />WH LippincottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
