date: Wed Jul 14 15:35:12 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Fwd: Borehole climate reconstructions to: wigley@cgd.ucar.edu Tom, On the Legates' piece, here's the two papers - the one by Pollack and Smerdon and the response by R&M. The effect is 0.1deg C more cooling back by 1500 - hardly the sort of thing to go on about. There is also a GRL paper by Huang, where he superimposes the high-res proxies onto the low-res boreholes. It came out a month or so ago - can't locate the pdf I have. I am going to reply to Timo - almost all of what Legates says is wrong. I'm going to demand a retraction - I won't get it but I'll point all the flaws in it. I'll be around in late August.
