  Grafting? Oh no…. Since Mann denied in 2004 that anyone to date had done this, in the context of rebutting criticism, can we infer that he agrees it’s a bad idea to present such an undisclosed grafting of the instrumental record onto a proxy record in a scientific paper?

  Mann on grafting a thermometer record onto a reconstruction

  Michael Mann at Real Climate, Dec. 2004:
  [Response: No researchers in this field have ever, to our knowledge, “grafted the thermometer record onto” any reconstruction. It is somewhat disappointing to find this specious claim (which we usually find originating from industry-funded climate disinformation websites) appearing in this forum….

A bit OT but this is really beginning to look very very significant. Me bets its the beginning of a great cooling that we will feel during next winters in both hemispheres due to lower solar activity.
