The late Skeptic John L. Daly’s message to Mann and The Team: ‘Mann’s theory simply does not stack up. But that was not key issue. Anyone can put up a dud theory from time to time’
Daly: 'What is at issue is the uncritical zeal with which the industry siezed on the theory before its scientific value had been properly tested. In one go,they tossed aside dozens of studies which confirmed the existence of the MWE and LIA as global events,and all on the basis of tree rings –a proxy which has all the deficiencies I stated above'
