Was nothing skeptical about the hockey stick, here he his in his own words explaining how they produced it:
Well, nothing legitimate refuting it. The Wegman Report, originally touted by climate deniers, is now known as the epitome of denialist stupidity. Ignoring independent investigations, then plagiarizing Wikipedia and several old textbooks, Wegman is only got himself under investigation by George Mason University for plagiarism and misconduct.

That's like saying people know gravity exists are part of some religious faith because the debate is over that it exists. There is massive amounts of proof that it unequivocally exists. If people can disprove it, without fraud and misconduct, they can challenge it. That's how science works. Belief without proof is faith, knowledge with proof is truth.
...but you'll accept his analysis with BEST right? You do realize who the man in the video was?
Having said that how can you justify what they did? You're going to splice parts of data sets together because the one set doesn't agree with your foregone conclusion? LOL

What are you referring to? I'll watch the video linked to later.
The methods they use to reconstruct temperature data like tree rings when there is no man made records take a nose dive after the sixities, they don't go up like man made records do. The frankenstick is made up from two separate timeliness using two different methods to measure temperature.

Last time I checked, plagiarism doesn't make the material wrong.

Nice diversion.
There's a lot more then that that is wrong with it. I just said what he was being investigated for. This is really simple English.
Here is a 250 page report on the "Strange Scholarship in the Wegman Report" detailing everything wrong with it. Including misconduct, misleading information, plagiarism, contradictions of itself, and downright lies presented in the report.

Yep that's right: some Northern Hemisphere tree ring data diverges from actual temperature measurements. I don't know why deniers make a big fuss about this. Given the choice of a direct measurement by thermometers or an indirect method such as tree rings, which would you use?
It's not even as if it was a big secret, there are papers on it dating from the mid-90's.

Are you refering to the "Hockey Stick"? Like this figure from IPCC TAR:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Hockey_stick_chart_ipcc_large.jpg (broken link)

Are you objecting to Mann showing the modern NH temperature measurement alongside the other reconstructions? Why don't you object to showing two or more reconstructions together?
Or perhaps you object to splicing data from different proxies together? Why? As long as they can be calibrated, it's the only way to make reconstructions going back hundreds of years, before modern instruments were available.
