in proxies for warm and cold intervals into context. We also have a long way to go to understand the
dynamics between the hemispheres that existed at that time and why the patterns existed and changed.
Understanding the natural variability of the past is one key component to preparing for future changes,
including the changes expected from global warming. My job is to establish as best possible what the past
was like, and that is all the paper I wrote sought to achieve.

Dear Dr.
,
Pardon this intrusion but I’ve come across some of your publications recently. One, in particular, has
caught my attention. It is:
Lorrey, A., Williams, P., Salinger, J., Martin, T., Palmer, J., Fowler, A., Zhao, J.-X. and Neil, H. 2008. Speleothem
stable isotope records interpreted within a multi-proxy framework and implications for New Zealand
palaeoclimate reconstruction. Quaternary International
187: 52-75.
The reason this is of interest to me is that a group is claiming that your work showing the presence of a
MWP disproves AGW theory. I know that a MWP certainly existed and its magnitude varied spatially,
that is not in doubt. I just wonder though, would you agree with the claim that the MWP was “global in
extent and warmer than today’s temperatures”? Also, do you believe your work “disproves” AGW?
Thanks for the response. I look forward to receiving it and reading your research in the future.

I see I wasn't the only one who's work was misrepresented.

Potential responses to Monckton-related Questions 10 Apr 2013[1][1].docx
We've received some enquiries from media and through the NIWA Facebook page regarding Lord
Moncktons' visit / talks. If you do receive such an enquiry, please refer the caller (or email) through to
and she will either deal with it herself or farm it out to me or
.
For your information, I've attached some notes
and I have prepared together, to help us
with enquiries (Lord Monckton's NZ tour lasts through to the end of April). What we do NOT want to do
is get drawn into a fruitless media or internet debate (for the reasons outlined in the note) - any
responses will be designed so as not to open a bunch of further questions. Likewise, we would not
accept an invitation to participate in face-to-face debates.
