Email 4712, Tom Wigley, June 2003: "...The word 'quality' here has been chosen carefully -- as something that is deliberately a bit ambiguous. The point here is to have something that we can fall back on if anyone criticizes *any* specific input series"

Email 4712
To be more specific, I suggest adding the following to the end of the Figure 2 caption: "..... Note that individual series are weighted according to their quality in forming a composite hemispheric-scale time series." The word 'quality' here has been chosen carefully -- as something that is deliberately a bit ambiguous. The point here is to have something that we can fall back on if anyone criticizes *any* specific input series (*not* just Yang).

This shows what these people are -- bullshit artists. Mumbo Jumbo Specialists. Masters of deception. Scientists? Only in quotes. "Scientists" they are.
