The proxy estimates go back 1,000 years, while the thermometer readings date from 1850. It was used to justify the [[anthropogenic global warming theory]] (AGW), but the fraud was exposed by two Canadian statistics experts. Mann's graph, which was shaped like a hockey stick, portrayed temperatures as steadily declining since medieval times and then sharply rising in the last century and a half. Notably, his reconstruction fueled claims that 1998 and following years had the highest temperatures in 1,000 years.
