Yes, and I offer the attached comments on his paper.  I haven't commented
on the bet he has made, but there will probably be something on
realclimate.com.
I have had a lot of exchanges with Gavin.
Not sure what to do with this: post it on realclimate.com is one option.
Anyway I am in the middle as a keynote speaker at this conference.  I do
plan to make my ppt available after the mtg via my web site.
