What was predicted early in this thread was "A retraction doesn't matter. Idiots like thunder and siagon will be posting that rediculous graph till the hoax completely implodes and the present crop of climate scientists have taken to the tall grass in order to avoid justice."The "Uptick" is based on the instrumental record and is completely robust. What is it you think his merger of the proxy and the instrument data did to the validity of that graphic or the claims in his conclusion?
