I think the site is poor and so does Keith. There are mistakes - on one page it says that ozone isn't an important greenhouse gas ! As the MSc course coordinator within ENV can you complain even more forcibly to EDU ? How can they discuss global warming without discussing observational data and GCM scenarios. They should chance the name to greenhouse gases. On a different tack - you seem to be the CRU contact with respect to Trevor's latest missive about the decline in research funding. At least Trevor thinks your not one of the 'oldies' ! We've had a meeting in CRU to discuss where we might have gone wrong with the EU in the first FW5 call. None of us though have received the letters from the EU which will give scores and possible reasons. If Trevor contacts you about this again we are planning to submit at least 3 proposals as coordinators and we will be on about 5 others as partners. We are also planning to help each other out by reading each other's proposals as one of Chris Sear's comments from reviewing last time is that all reviewers tend to be generalists. So we are pressing the right buttons and as usual we seem to be ahead of the rest of ENV.
