date: Thu Jan 8 14:50:24 2009 from: Phil Jones subject: RE: FW: Temperatures in 2009 to: "Folland, Chris" Chris, I sent it. He says he'll read the IPCC Chapters! He hadn't as he said he thought they were politically biased. I assured him they were not. The SPM may be, but not the chapters. From other things in his email though, he won't be convinced.

It relates to the 2009 temperature forecast. I'm going to send him a quick reply pointing to the IPCC AR4 website and a CRU page which has some of the papers accessible. He seems to get his information from blog sites! He claims that it is unworthy therefore to possibly stress some perhaps, vulnerable members of the UK population with such immoderate stories. I'll also send him the full press release.
