Der Spiegel-global warming science compromised. Hockey stick discussion

• Der Spiegel acknowledges climate guys were wrong, having been very much on the Soros fueled climate scam at one point. Spiegel probably thinks, gee it was a great idea, let's not get mad at the climate guys who were just unlucky. (Carbon trading existed long before anyone ever heard of climate guys and will go on after):

#4 Commenter Kenspy, 5/14:

• "They whitewashed the most important point!

"But what appeared at first glance to be fraud ["hide the decline"] was actually merely a face-saving fudge: Tree-ring data indicates no global warming since the mid-20th century, and therefore contradicts the temperature measurements. The clearly erroneous tree data was thus corrected by the so-called "trick" with the temperature graphs."

• Clearly erroneous???

It's not like it's an outlier, virtually ALL dendro reconstructions diverge significantly in the latter half of the 20th century. Which brings to mind the incredibly pertinent question of whether this is even a reliable proxy for temperature.

• Secondly, what they did was plain and simple fraud. You can't just lop on temperature to a proxy graph and then say "look the proxy matches the temperature." Obviously the temperature will match the temperature!
  
• How can you label it as anything other than fraud>?

I stopped reading the article at that point; don't care to see what is in the McIntyre section. Shoddy journalism."...via Climate Depot. Der Spiegel, "How the science of global warming was compromised" 5/14
