They have. Even accounted for altitude, latitude, time of the year, all that. Which is why I've mentioned even earlier in this thread that you need a lot of data, a lot, before you can even know if the trend you've found is real. Which was why I referred people to the IPCC, only to have Lemon say they were caught lying when they were actually talking about tree rings and statistical methods.
