There is this thing called the divergence problem in dendroclimatology and to make dendroclimatic modelling programs more accurate some 'fudging' is required to fit instrumental records.
Regarding the divergence problem, why is dendroclimactic data used at all, if it has been demonstrably unreliable for the last 50 of the roughly 150 years that sufficient instrument readings are available to gauge its reliability?
