otherwise much more intricate than our Figure 3.2. They lead us to suspect,
perhaps intentionally, that nothing but contradiction can be drawn from this
collection of data. Nevertheless, the raw material (proxies, weather surveys
or satellites) provides information which is more robust than it appears, and
which cannot be so easily warped, even by the most adventurous statistical
processing (as for the deliberate falsification of data, we needn't consider it:
it is a practice reserved for politics). This is why we collected a range of
measurements and reconstructions which, without being exhaustive, is
representative of the entirety of the existing information on climatic history.
If we are able to extract consistent results from it, the validity of our
approach will be strengthened. And we will see that they rightly confirm,
almost unanimously, the conclusions that we have put forward regarding the
significant contribution of solar activity to recent warming. The only partial
inconsistency element may come from the Jones and Mann reconstruction.
