It is not necessary to peer review anything to propose a scientific fact or theory. It is only necessary to publish or present your data and/or discussion in a way that allows others to become aware of them. Many times in the past, most peer review was done after publishing or presenting a theory, not before.

Much has been published on Mann's scientific bloopers by many scientific experts. Many of these have been posted to this thread.

Trying to splice tree ring core proxies of past temperatures onto the recent temperature record to mislead the scientific illiterate, such as you, is scientifically fraudulent. It is clear that tree ring proxies give a measurement that is dependent on far more than temperature. Tree ring proxies are therefore a poor indicator of past temperatures. The scientific literature is full of discussions of the problems of using tree ring growth rates as temperature proxies.

The fact you can't see the problems with Mann's treatment of the data suggests you have little understanding of the science behind the debate, or you seek to deceive the scientifically illiterate, just like Mann.

The fact that you think scientific facts are only valid if they appear in peer reviewed journals, show you know nothing about how science has progressed throughout the ages.
