cc: date: Fri Dec 3 14:01:50 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: stalagmite northern hemisphere T reconstruction to: "Andy Baker" Andy, I'll try and find some time to go through this. Looking at the screen, I would omit the use of the term 'hockey stick' and all reference to 'marred by uncertainty' and reference to McIntyre and McKittrick. It isn't marred at all. Just stick to the science, as reported in reputable journals. It is reproducible, if you know what you're doing and does differ from the others. Also don't put too much faith in the models. There are responses coming to von Storch et al. so I wouldn't get into that. Cheers Phil At 12:21 03/12/2004, Andy Baker wrote: Hello, I hope all is well in East Anglia? A quick e-mail to ask if you would be interested in looking over and commenting on a paper draft written by Claire Smith, a PhD student here working on the NERC RAPID project coordinated by Ian Fairchild and who has been communicating with Keith about some of the techniques used here. As you can see by the title, it should be of interest?
