Our results indicate …
The temperature variations during the
preindustrial
times (1000-1850) are
likely considerably larger than shown by
the “shaft” of the “hockeystick”.
The significance of the “blade” for
detecting ongoing anthropogenic climate
change is not compromised by the choice
of the various historical reconstructions.
