This actual instrumental record - as opposed to more imaginative proxies involving lumps of wood and holes in the ground - do not seem to agree with either the Met office, the IPCC nor Dr Mann's bold assertions, as the record clearly
shows wild fluctuations and a certain amount of cyclical behaviour.
What I emphasize is that the NADW has been declining but that we don't know where the failure threshold really is — then
show Tom Stocker's 100 runs of threshold straddling and emphasize that even getting close to threshold gives
wild fluctuations.
