Dear All,
1. See below re Jean's new 5-year job - at the Gold Coast campus.
2. Dave Viner has a new job shortly - the Climate Change co-ordinator for the
British Council. Yes, Dave will be Britain's image abroad!

Funniest thing here was that the UK Environment Minister came round and he
thought the low and high emissions gardens related to the plant's ability to take
up CO2!

Dear Sir, Can you please send me a pdf of the Farmer et al 1989, cited in Folland andPArker
1995, which, in turn is cited in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Thanks, Steve McIntyre

Mike is going to scan this and put it on the CRU web site. This is one of those pieces of
work over the years that we probably should have written up more. Had a look through it
this
morning and it reads very well and shows we did a lot of work and know what we're talking
about when it comes to SST adjustments and buckets. Maybe it will show that idiots at CA
and Roger Pielke Sr that we know what we're doing!

I appear to have got my own thread in the last few days - one person thinks I should
be struck off, for poor research practice!
Cheers

Folks
Australiaâs new Minister of Environment announced this morning the appointment of
Director of the new Adaptation Research Facility (multi-million dollar consortium of Aus
universityies along with CSIRO).
The Director is Jean Palutikof. Great for her. And good for our networks to the
Australian partners involved in this effort.

SENATOR THE HON PENNY WONG
Minister for Climate Change and Water
3 June 2008
INTERNATIONAL EXPERT TO HEAD CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH BODY
Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, today welcomed the
appointment of eminent international research scientist, Dr Jean Palutikof, to head the
GovernmentâÃôs Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility.
Griffith University, which hosts the facility, announced Dr PalutikofâÃôs appointment
today.
âÃúDr Palutikof has more than 20 yearsâÃô experience researching the potential effects
of climate change and how best to respond to those effects,âÃù Senator Wong said.
âÃúHer work includes a major contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
ChangeâÃôs latest global assessment of climate change, with a particular focus on
impacts and adaptation.âÃù
Senator Wong said the Rudd Government saw climate change as one of the greatest
challenges facing Australia and was already implementing an ambitious agenda to respond
to the challenge.
âÃúAdapting to the impacts of climate change resulting from the growing level of
greenhouse gases in our atmosphere is a key pillar of our climate change strategy.
âÃúWe are starting to see the effects of climate change now and the way we respond will
have far-reaching impacts for our economy, our environment and our society.
âÃúThis is not a choice between a no-cost option and an option with costs. It is a
choice about whether we take responsible action now âÃì or neglect to act and face much
higher costs.
âÃúOur decision-making needs to be informed by sound science and the Climate Change
Adaptation Research Facility will lead the national research effort.
âÃúWork in this area is in its infancy and the facilityâÃôs initial priorities will be
to identify adaptation research priorities and establish networks to encourage
cooperation among our leading researchers.
âÃúA truly cooperative effort on this front is needed, and Dr Palutikof will play an
important role in bringing together the best brains in Australia.âÃù
The GovernmentâÃôs climate change strategy is built around three key pillars âÃì
reducing AustraliaâÃôs greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to climate change that we
cannot avoid, and helping to shape a global solution.
