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 !

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.

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 !

I agree with Kerry Emanuel, but what I said has been severely distorted by Landsea. Kevin -- -- **************** Kevin E.
