Sent by 'paleoclimatologist' Ed Cook to the CRU's Keith Briffa, outlining his opinions on the current (2003) state of knowledge of past temperatures:

The results of this study will show that we can probably say a fair bit about -100 year extra-tropical NH temperature variability

(at least as far as we believe the proxy estimates), but honestly know f""k-all about what the -100 year variability was like with any certainty (i.e. we know with certainty that we know f""k-all). (1062592331)

Prior to AR3 Briffa talks of pressure to produce a tidy picture of apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data.
