The idea that all the trees skip making a growth ring the year after a volcanic eruption is a crock of s**t. Ask any dendrochronologist. What Mann did was create a virtual tree on a computer that skipped a growth ring, because his climate models said the year after a volcanic eruption should be much, much colder than actual data shows. So to correct the data that disproves his model, he created a new model tree that wouldn’t contradict his delusional fantasy. And then he published it.
so what do you think of Mann’s latest work?
