>What he is saying is that tree ring data correlates closely to temperature before we could measure temperature accurately but it is useless since 1960 when tree ring data shows temperatures to be declining. And “hide the decline” means exactly what those three words would suggest they mean.

Oh Gawd, not this again:

1) First of all there are more variables that influence tree growth than temperature. Prior to 1960, temperature was more important. Recently the relationship has been poorer. The scientists are saying due to environmental stresses, trees are not growing at a faster rate at higher temperatures.

2) Now we have reliable sources of direct measurement of surface temperatures - so who cares about tree rings????

3)"hide the decline" means hide the APPARANT decline (with real data), not the ACTUAL decline.

4) Tree ring data is inaccurate. Scientists were rightly replacing it with ACCURATE data.

I'm writing this in a simplistic manner as possible for you simpletons to understand. The misleaders (climate change deniers) like to make it sound like some conspiracy to deliberately mislead. This is not the case. But, the misleaders don't care about the facts, but care only about cooking up some case (by smearing the scientists) with the end of just making the problem go away.
