date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 12:34:31 -0000 from: "Ogden Anne Ms \(MAC\) k319" subject: Guardian story - URGENT - please ring to: "Jones Philip Prof \(ENV\) f028" , "Briffa Keith Prof \(ENV\) f023" Dear Phil and Keith, The EDP are following up the story in today's Guardian about scientists being offered money by the AEI to write reports critical of the IPCC report. Dave V is quoted in the Guardian article. See: http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,2004397,00.html The EDP understand from Dave that people at UEA may have been approached in this way. Is this true - and, if so, are you willing to confirm and comment to the press? Be grateful if one of you could give me a ring urgently. By the way, it's going well media-wise this end. At last count, Nathan was doing 5-Live Drive (we have another story on tonight too - about cloning the smell of the sea), Sky, LBC, the Guardian - and Newsnight! Tim is doing Capital Radio, but got bumped off Channel 4 by Blair... Mike Hulme is also doing Sky (at a different time) and has done World Service. He got bumped off Today prog by Blair too. More later, Annie ------------------------------- Annie Ogden, Communications Manager University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ.
