I don't believe for one minute that the temperature is lower now than in the

which are being massaged?

There's too many £trillions betting on run away global warming now so the
figures will show it happening regardless...

"The decline" you refer to is not a decline in temperature but a
decline in the correlation between tree-ring data and measured
temperature. You have misinterpreted it, either mistakenly or
deliberately, I wouldn't presume to know. You probably read it
somewhere, published by someone who has deliberately misinterpreted
it, and as it suits your point of view you have propagated it. But
it's not true, like most of the stuff put out by the denialists, who
are mostly not motivated by a desire to find out the truth but to
suppress it or distort it because they don't like it or it'll cost
them money. These people play dirty and degrade the debate whilst
adding essentially nothing.
