The Yamal data is definitely better than most data sets, at least relative to RCS detrending concerns (as is that of Esper et al., 2012), and also better than the Polar Urals, but other critical concerns remain (as they do for virtually all tree ring studies attempting to estimate relative climatic state variables over centuries).
