date: Thu, 31 May 2007 16:13:16 +0100 from: Phil Jones subject: Fwd: UPDATE: The Great Global Warming Swindle to: k.briffa@uea.ac.uk,t.osborn@uea.ac.uk,n.gillett@uea.ac.uk, c.goodess@uea.ac.uk Have you heard is the Met Office and/or NERC are doing anything. I can't see how it can take so long nor what 'substantial' is. They seem to have convinced Ofcom to wait before they consider the program. In the earlier email Durkin comes across as an obnoxious b****** Cheers Phil >Subject: UPDATE: The Great Global Warming Swindle >Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 15:41:52 +0100 >X-MS-Has-Attach: >X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: >Thread-Topic: UPDATE: The Great Global Warming Swindle >Thread-Index: >AceRXxHRLhxu9wfQSQuJ7vWCZNYzBgAAOQvwAAASV7ACxmF78ACWClmgAABQV3ABL1oo0A== >From: "Bob Ward" >To: "Bob Ward" , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > "Celine Herweijer" , > , > , > , > , > , > , > , > >Cc: , > "Alam, Tanzeed" , > "Lyndal Gully" >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 31 May 2007 14:41:55.0935 (UTC) >FILETIME=[D60166F0:01C7A391] >X-UEA-Spam-Score: 0.0 >X-UEA-Spam-Level: / >X-UEA-Spam-Flag: NO > >Have today received a letter from Andrew Morgan, Programme Executive at >Ofcom, stating the following: > >"Dear Mr Ward > >The Great Global Warming Swindle, Channel 4, 8 March 2007, 21.00 > >Thank you for contacting us with your concerns about this programme.
