Hmm, more variables in the soup. Could be one cause of “divergence.” Certainly confounds the temperature proxy issue, LOL.

I am worndering if local conditions apply to this alpine ridge, do local conditions apply to all alpine ridges that are being mined for a temp signal?

Intrepid explorers must plan an expedition for days in advance and are advised to pack a lunch…. etc.”

Steve, you should know that putting one’s tongue so firmly into cheek while grinning evilly through one’s teeth is dangerous business and could cause injury. :-D

The changes in climate at Niwot Ridge are not in synchrony with lowland warming in the Great Plains to the east of Niwot Ridge and serve as a reminder that climate in alpine areas is driven by local conditions and may be asynchronous with regional and global climate trends

Does this get discussed in the papers reporting the collections?
