Kevin,
Thanks. I assumed there was a lot more to this, but was only
getting a small percent of information. It is amazing what some
people believe. People who should know better. They should
know how these sorts of things with the media get reported.
I've seen this before with Ben Santer and Mike Mann and
yours seems just as bad. Just have to stick in there and
it might eventually blow away - although it hasn't with Ben and
Mike.
Have a good weekend !
Cheers
Phil

I have been under vicious attacks here following Landsea's putting his resignation
letter on line. Really nasty articles from Pat Michaels and Roy Spencer, both with
absolutely wrong stuff in them. Also a vicious nasty letter from Bill Gray that went to
many people. And the one that hurts most was from Peter Webster who, in his typical
fashion, believed this stuff and went on the praise Landsea and criticise me. We had
several unpleasant email exchanges that also were copied to many people. Susan has
been laying low. Jim Hurrell is ralleying some support, here is what I sent him.

Kevin,
How and why did all this make the news? I've seen it in a number of emails.
Will there be similar items each time we gain or lose a CA?
I don't seem to have had any relief to workload since getting the draft off.
The small Reanalysis meeting Lennart organised though was a welcome
break to discuss science.
Have a good weekend !
Cheers
Phil

See attached in latest issue. It could have been worse, but not a helpful report. I
agree with Kerry Emanuel, but what I said has been severely distorted by Landsea.
