It is misleading to splice together two incommensurable types of data (tree rings up to 1850 and then instrumental measurements beyond) to produce a desired effect (rising temperature trend). To show the trend over 1,000 years they should only present proxy measures that continue over the whole period unchanged. But they don't because this doesn't reveal the dramatic red blade of the hockey stick at the end.
