(I trust Mike got and responded to the message??) Harvey Phil Jones wrote: Mike, The New Scientist article is here in hard copy form. It isn't on the web site - no link to it. It is fair and shows a diagram of the NH and SH (from the GRL paper !!!). Titled 'Climatologists hit back at greenhouse sceptics'. Fred Pearce didn't call Tim and Keith here earlier in the week. The only call they got was from the Sunday Telegraph who may run with something, but they haven't called back. No-one called me in Japan, so I guess we will have to wait for the GRL article. I'm away from August 2 for two weeks, so I hope you'll get more then. I will be here the whole of the July 28 week. The sceptics have seen it though from the two emails from Timo Hameranta.

I've seen the press release posted on various outlets on the WEB, and there has been lots of interest from politicos and other scientists on this. However, the only article that I'm aware of on this is apparently slated for the July 12 issue of "New Scientist". I haven't seen the article yet (not available online). Perhaps Tim, Phil, or Ray have other information. best regards, mike At 04:56 PM 7/7/2003 -0400, Harvey Leifert wrote: All, We issued the press release at 3:40 p.m. EDT Monday, July 7. It was sent to 900 science writers worldwide on our distribution list and posted on EurekAlert!, the AAAS web site for science press releases. Almost immediately, we received requests for the full article from The New York Times, USA Today, National Public Radio, Toronto Star, San Jose Mercury News, Cox Newspapers, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and four freelancers. It was too late for most Europeans to receive the release Monday, so we expect additional requests Tuesday morning. Thanks to all for your help.
