There are a series of links to related web pages at the BBC online article today on "Sceptics denounce climate science 'lie'" at http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1833000/1833902.stm. Links are included to the ESEF web site (http://www.scienceforum.net/) and the sites for George C Marshall Institute (http://www.marshall.org/) and Philip Stott (http://www.ecotrop.org/). Note also that the Tyndall web site is listed 3rd on the internet links section...

Woeful stuff really. This is one reason why Tyndall is sponsoring the Cambridge Media/Environment Programme to starve this type of reporting at source. In the meantime the Carbon Trust were very annoyed by the piece (also an article in The Daily Mail - surprise, surprise) and have talked to me about their best line of action. I have pursuaded them that a knee-jerk reaction is not the best. However, ....... Two questions can anyone help me with: - are there any on-line web sources reporting on the US Panel that reported to Bush last June on the credibility of the IPCC Assessments? - can anyone find out about this European organisation that published this report that has caused the flurry of activity? I've heard of it before but is there a web site? Simon, could we have a chat about this soon, and Vanessa, please could you buy me a Daily Mail today? Thanks, Mike
