cc: schellnhuber date: Thu Aug 22 15:40:35 2002 from: Mike Hulme subject: Re: Congrats to: "Alan Thorpe" Dear Alan, Many thanks for the message below - I didn't think I did a very good job with your question and I'm glad it wasn't on live broadcast! With regard to meeting up, it really would make best sense to plan a meeting once John Schellnhuber is here full-time and available. He starts with us from 1 October, so we could look at some October dates. Maybe a meeting in London would be easiest for all. If there is some urgency then I could probably meet up before then, but to get full value for future work together then I think John - as our Research Director - should be involved. I have mentioned it to him already, so he is alert to the opportunity. I am copying him in to this reply.

Sorry to have given you a hard time on attribution of human-induced climate change - I was assigned to be the "science questioner". I would like to have a bilateral discussion with you on Tyndall-NCAS linkage as soon as we can fit it in. I would want Julia Slingo to be in on that as she is the new Director of our Centre for Global Atmospheric Modelling. Alan ---------------------------------------------- Professor Alan J.
