"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i. e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
In the context of the E-mail CNN questioned, this is clearly not the context "trick" or "hide the decline" was used.
But the details are not just in the E-mails themselves, but in the fortran code where literals/static variables where used in place of dynamic variables. I.e. forcing the program .. making variable X to always be the outcome they desired.
