The other day, I noticed RealClimate had declared that the debate about the temperature history was over.
That sounded vaguely familiar, so I contacted Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr. of Colorado University and the Pielke Research Group which is a member of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRCES)and moderator of the blog Climate Science.
He asked me to pose my question, in Climate Science, of whether it was reasonable to presume that implied temperatures from various proxy data could be tacked on to actual recent readings to create a 2,000 year time series. There is a paper cited in his response that you can read if you wish.
His response is comment #3 in this post.
I think the last sentence of his comment makes his position regarding the RealClimate post RealClear.
