This study integrates the complementary information preserved in the global database of borehole temperatures [Huang et al., 2000], the 20th century meteorological record [Jones et al., 1999], and an annually resolved multi proxy model [Mann et al., 1999] for a more complete picture of the Northern Hemisphere temperature change over the past five centuries.

That article discussed Eddy's use of the tree - ring 14C record as an inversely correlated proxy indicator for sunspot activity, but does not appear to be relevant to a discussion of tree - rings as a temperature proxy.

The most charitable explanation is that it is the trivial observation that a tree ring proxy must be calibrated to the temperature record over some portion of the chronology to provide a useful reconstruction.

Despite reams of proxy data and historical records showing that the Earth's temperature behaved sinusoidally over the last 1000 years, Mann only sees a hockey stick behavior.

Van Oldenborgh used both modern and early temperature records, as well as sources like tree rings, which can act as a proxy for very old temperatures, to observe Europe's temperature records back to 1500 and determined that 2014 will almost certainly be the warmest year Europe has experienced during the past 500 years.

For example, in the maps below from the paper, you can see the sparseness of the proxy records that the researchers had available to create their rainfall (left map) and temperature (right map) records.

The present ice ages are the most studied and best understood, particularly the last 400,000 years, since this is the period covered by ice cores that record atmospheric composition and proxies for temperature and ice volume.

The important point the study makes is that the onset of warming in the tropical ocean in the 1830s is earlier than is typically assumed from the instrumental record and from other proxy reconstructions that have focused mainly on Northern Hemisphere land temperatures.

Adding in the information from the proxies extends the instrumental temperature record in today's study back in time to 1500AD.

Of course, the usual caveat applies when looking at a single proxy record - this is a temperature record for a single location.To get a better feel for past climate, you need to look at proxy records from a range of locations.

Different proxy records should reflect these differences and differ therefore in the magnitude of recorded temperature change.

In essence, the authors have revisited a question posed earlier in a paper by Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas (2003: see our previous discussion here), investigating whether or not evidence from past proxy records of temperature support the existence of past intervals of warmth with the widespread global scale of 20th century warming.

«Cherry picking» is just one shortcut to describe that, for example, isolating counter-trendaceous segments of the temperature record doesn't work, or that each of the proxy records has shortcomings but taken in sum they add to our knowledge.

«They make use only of those proxy records which demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with modern instrumental temperature records».

Should the proxy be first checked to see whether or not it reflects the most recent, and observed, temperature record for that region?

And also, the proxies had to be used for periods before we started keeping temperature records.

However, tree growth is a complex biological process that is subject to a range of changing environmental influences, not just summer temperature, and so replication, coherence and consistency across records and other proxies are an important check on the results.

More than 95 % of the 5 yr running mean of the surface temperature change since 1850 can be replicated by an integration of the sunspot data (as a proxy for ocean heat content), departing from the average value over the period of the sunspot record (~ 40SSN), plus the superimposition of a ~ 60 yr sinusoid representing the observed oceanic oscillations.

However I have read in RealClimate, on a post called «A New Take on an Old Millenium» from February 2006, that «They make use only of those proxy records which demonstrate a statistically significant relationship with modern instrumental temperature records».

My interpretation of this is that you are saying that if we want to get an understanding of temperature trends on centennial or millenial timescales, we should wilfully ignore the higher - precision instrumental record in favour of the lower - precision proxies.

However, atmospheric CO2 content plays an important internal feedback role.Orbital - scale variability in CO2 concentrations over the last several hundred thousand years covaries (Figure 5.3) with variability in proxy records including reconstructions of global ice volume (Lisiecki and Raymo, 2005), climatic conditions in central Asia (Prokopenko et al., 2006), tropical (Herbert et al., 2010) and Southern Ocean SST (Pahnke et al., 2003; Lang and Wolff, 2011), Antarctic temperature (Parrenin et al., 2013), deep - ocean temperature (Elder eld et al., 2010), biogeochemical conditions in the Northet al., 2008).

Most of proxy temperature records are from tree - ring measurements, but additional evidence comes from glacier ice, speleothems [stalagmites, stalactites and related mineral formations], corals and lake sediments.

Other factors also contribute to smoothing the proxy temperature signals contained in many of the records we used, such as organisms burrowing through deep - sea mud, and chronological uncertainties in the proxy records that tend to smooth the signals when compositing them into a globally averaged reconstruction.

The hockey team has perpetuated their hoax by not updating their tree ring series because they know that the proxy data will have a glaring absence of the temperature rise that is shown by the instrument record.

CO2 in ice core records has followed not proceeded temperature changes, indication that it is a proxy of temperature not a cause of the change.

For precisely this reason, the numerous proxy and model - based estimates of the variations in the average temperature of the Northern Hemisphere (not just just the Mann et al reconstruction, as implied by your comment) show far more modest temperature changes than those typically interpreted from specific proxy records from any one region.

This study integrates the complementary information preserved in the global database of borehole temperatures [Huang et al., 2000], the 20th century meteorological record [Jones et al., 1999], and an annually resolved multi proxy model [Mann et al., 1999] for a more complete picture of the Northern Hemisphere temperature change over the past five centuries.

And we could say this because we had historical records for hurricanes and ocean temperatures, as well as other studies of proxy records of temperatures, suggesting that these busy and quiet periods tend to last 25 to 40 years each.

If you have a reconstruction of annual average temperatures at a location over the past 1000 yrs with an error range of, say, + / -0.3 deg C in the proxy data, and the net temperature change over that time period is 1.0 deg C from the proxy data, your counts and timing of records are going to be heavily dependent on errors.

von Storch et al purport to test statistical methods used to reconstruct past climate patterns from «noisy» proxy data by constructing false proxy records («pseudoproxy» records) based on adding noise to model gridbox temperature series taken from a climate simulation forced with estimated past radiative forcing changes.

Separate from the potential northern bias, are you confident that jogs similar to the one recorded in the last century (a well - instrumented century) could not be hidden in the «smear» of millenniums of proxy [indirect] temperature data?

«They had done far more extensive and sophisticated analysis of the weather records, confirmed by «proxy» data such as studies of tree rings and measurements of old temperatures that lingered in deep boreholes.»

Based on the GISP2 ice core proxy record from Greenland it has previously been pointed out that the present period of warming since 1850 to a high degree may be explained by a natural c. 1100 yr periodic temperature variation (Humlum et al., 2011).

Further, since no - one appears to be able to show convincingly exactly why and how this divergence occurs, this taints the entire record — at least in terms of it's use as a proxy for temperature.
