This article presents only part of the story, omitting the most crucial point. The Briffa series diverges from the true temperature after 1960. This raises the question of whether tree rings are a valid temperature proxy.
If tree rings don’t track today’s temperatures, why should we believe they track temperatures going back 1000 years?
And if they don’t track temperatures going back 1000 years, this explodes the claim that current warming is “unprecedented”.
And if current warming is within the range of natural fluctuations, this challenges the claim that CO2 is largely to blame and that the apocalypse is nigh.
