We can talk by phone about this Keith At 08:56 13/11/2006, you wrote: Martin Juckes wrote: I'm going to send an email to Prof. North of the NAS panel to ask if he really meant "don't use bristlecones", as he is quoted by McIntyre. I talked with Bette Otto-Bliesner a few weeks ago. She was a Panel member and said that they had asked a tree-ring specialist and he had adviced not to use BCpines. Not a very deep argument. The report is available I think, but it is not final yet. Keith, what do you think about this? Does anyone know where I can get hold of the categorisation of the Sheep Mountain trees used by Graybill and Idso (ca534.rwl from the WDC for paleoclimatology I think) into "strip-bark" and "full-bark"? I've sent an email to the WDC query address. ask Graybill and/or Idso themselves?
