I'm sorry, but the hockey stick chart has been discredited. MM discredited it. Wegman et al did too. The IPCC stopped using the chart. Furthermore, we know the graph was created by dropping proxy data and splicing in temperature measurements beginning about 1960 (because the proxy data was going the wrong way after 1960 - something that ought to have given the researchers pause to re-examine the reliability of their proxies*). Lastly, we know that the last decade hasn't seen the warming predicted by the chart.

* It's hard to believe tree ring proxies accurately measured temperatures for 1000 years but suddenly went haywire in modern times. This is what the "trick" mentioned in the climategate emails was about.
