Phil,

I remember that Figure. When it appeared I thought "what crap".
I thought Chris had made it up from mainly Lamb material. We knew
well then that Lamb's stuff was garbage -- and, of course, Chris was
ignorant of paleo data. The blind being led by the blind -- and now
it has come back to haunt us. Poetic justice.

You might recall that I used a very different Figure from Rothlisberger
in the Wigley and Kelly paper. This was a good choice in retrospect
because it looks much more like Mann et al.

I hate to say this (actually not) but I think I got it right and IPCC got
it wrong -- not the first time.

Tom.
