In a thread here some time back I mentioned a climate researcher who I'd heard
was approached with respect to 'getting rid of the medieval warm period' in
order to make the IPCC case for AGW more compelling.
At the time I didn't have a cite but I just found it again.

Statement of Dr. David Deming
University of Oklahoma
College of Earth and Energy
Climate Change and the Media

"Some time back" was your post of 6 Aug when you said:
begin quote
Are you suggestng that the Little Ice Age didn't exist ?
No.
It seems the IPCC is trying to though.
A researcher alleged he was told by an IPCC member that "we have to
make the
Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age 'go away' ". I found that on
Steve
McIntyre's site
http://climateaudit.org/
but I'm afraid I can't find that page now. Interesting site though.
end quote.
You weren't merely claiming the approach was to make the IPCC case
better, you claimed an IPCC <member> had actually said "we have to
make the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age 'go away' "
Dr Deming makes no claim that there was any relationship with the IPCC
and only gives anecdotal evidence about the statement.
I'd still have to grade your claims "not proved".
