From: Phil Jones To: "Mitchell, John FB (Director of Climate Science)" Subject: Yamal response from Keith Date: Wed Oct 28 12:26:39 2009 John, [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/yamal2009/ This went up last night about 5pm. There is a lot to read at various levels. If you get time just the top level is necessary. There is also a bit from Tim Osborn showing that Yamal was used in 3 of the 12 millennial reconstructions used in Ch 6. Also McIntyre had the Yamal data in Feb 2004 - although he seems to have forgotten this. Keith succeeding in being very restrained in his response. McIntyre knew what he was doing when he replaced some of the trees with those from another site.
