"the decline Jones so urgently sought to hide was not one of measured temperatures at all, but rather...those determined by proxy reconstructions."

"the decline Jones so urgently sought to hide was not one of measured temperatures at all, but rather figures infinitely more important to climate alarmists – those determined by proxy reconstructions."

Read the whole incredible story at Heartland including how The Medieval Warming Period disappeared from IPCC charts, how "proxy data was scrapped because unlike those measured, reconstructed temperatures showed a marked decline after 1980" and how "defining legends" disappeared from charts, how a key "graph represents an amalgam of proxy and measured temperatures", more about the scandal that is Yamal and more about the situating of weather recording stations and how "methods to “adjust” for such bias, including the use of “smoothing” adjustments to “homogenize” station data to that of surrounding stations." may account for as much as 50% of the "increase" in temperatures.

You must read the whole article and spread the word. Maybe the BBC would like to discuss the points raised; maybe not?
