Mann was nervous that skeptics would have a “field day” with the Briffa decline and that “he’d hate to be the one” to give them “fodder.” As Mann wrote:
"We would need to put in a few words in this regard. Otherwise, the skeptics have a field day casting doubt on our ability to understand the factors that influence these estimates and, thus, can undermine faith in the paleoestimates. The best approach here is for us to circulate a paper addressing all the above points. I’ll do this as soon as possible. I don’t think that doubt is scientifically justified, and I’d hate to be the one to have to give it fodder! (Mann, 9-22-99)"
Yet, fodder was exactly what they got. But what, exactly, was the “trick”? As the Daily Mail reports, “All [Jones] had to do was cut off Briffa’s inconvenient data at the point where the decline started, in 1961, and replace it with actual temperature readings, which showed an increase.” Below is the graph that was eventually included in the IPCC’s 2001 science assessment. And it shows that Jones’s trick was successful: Briffa’s line in green is cutoff and obscured by the other lines.

Skepe-pellen ehkäpä idioottimaisin hörhöily: Vuonna 1998 viimeksi päivitetystä tilastosta ei löydy yhtään lämpöennätystä 2000-luvulta:

Voi kun harmittaa lasta. Mitäs tuumit jutusta? Pojat kun ihan omin sanoin omissa meileissään kertovat mitä aikovat tehdä ja miksi. Ja sitten vielä Jones menee tunnustamaan kusetuksen julkisuudessa. Kirottua!
