John,
You'll be able to discuss some aspects of science re the WG
on this day. I'll send some stuff (or get someone to send something)
nearer the time. I think we will be able to resolve the issues. I
can see where James is coming from. Colin here is doing some
different types of plots.
Keith just mentioned a call from you and the name David Holland.
I've helped someone at DEFRA several times respond to his letters.
Another Brit to watchout for is Douglas Keenan. This one accused
Wei-Chyung Wang (who is at SUNY) of research fraud - based on
two papers from 1990 (Wang et al, and Jones et al. in Nature). SUNY
have taken it very seriously, but they will find in Wei-Chyung's favour.
All related to urban effects on the temperature record.
I've also had several FOI requests for the raw station temperature data
we use. I've given them a list of the sites. Told them to get in touch
with the NMSs.
All very unsettling at the time, but then that is probably what was intended.
I presume you've seen that awful Heartland Institute report from 3 weeks back.
Cheers
Phil
