date: Fri May 5 10:40:27 2000 from: Mike Hulme subject: Re: Christian Aid to: m.kelly@uea.ac.uk Mick, I'm not looking for controversy - in my Guardian article I did say that there is now no longer a purely natural weather event, which I am happy to defend in debate, although the nuance of that argument I admit can be mis-interpreted. Anyway, I'm not going to volunteer on this one - the context is too 'cold' without knowing the people involved. Thanks for the notification, Mike p.s. on the MSc question, could you arrange a get-together with Declan and I? Had a brief chat with Dec. and I think we need to explore options together. My starting point is: - I cannot fulfil my current obligation for 2000/01 course (Trevor has agreed to that) - I could probably contribute 2000/01 1-2 lectures as negotiated - I would quite like Tyndall Centre to make a contribution in the future though, more through the global warming policy type course (maybe this could be upped to 20 credits). We may even be able to think about 1-2 Tyndall MSc scholarships each year (and maybe some MSc dissertation topics). - Dec is interested in exploring options for greater ENV/DEV links At 08:39 05/05/00 +0100, you wrote: >CA are lookign for someone to say more extreme events likely in future due >to global warming at lanuch of new campaign.
