You didn't read Shakun's methodology, did you. You should have.
...The global temperature stack is not particularly sensitive to interpolation resolution, areal weighting, the number of proxy records, radiocarbon calibration, infilling of missing data or proxy type...
hmmm....not particularly sensitive....I wonder if anything could be hidden in that waffling statement?
The Marcott-Shakun Dating Service
Marcott, Shakun, Clark and Mix did not use the published dates for ocean cores, instead substituting their own dates. The validity of Marcott-Shakun re-dating will be discussed below, but first, to show that the re-dating “matters” (TM-climate science), here is a graph showing reconstructions using alkenones (31 of 73 proxies) in Marcott style, comparing the results with published dates (red) to results with Marcott-Shakun dates (black). As you see, there is a persistent decline in the alkenone reconstruction in the 20th century using published dates, but a 20th century increase using Marcott-Shakun dates. (It is taking all my will power not to make an obvious comment at this point.)
over and over and over again, when the evidence is examined it has a stench of corruption. did the original authors make a mistake in their work? perhaps, but it seems pretty convenient that the 'new and improved method' gives a welcome result.
when is Mann going to retract or repair Mann08 for using the Tiljander cores upsidedown?
