cc: p.jones@uea.ac.uk, "Michael E. Mann" , Ben Santer date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 09:20:28 -0600 from: Tom Wigley subject: Re: Fwd: Climate Research to: Mike Hulme Mike, Thanx -- but not quite the end. A nebulous issue is the choice of referees, but we can probably never get that information and Kinne can't evaluate this aspect. Danny Harvey and I are still planning to follow up the concerns re the paper we reviewed, rejected and never saw again until it was published. What has happened since is that another crappy paper that Ben and I rejected for J. Climate, a specific and unjust criticism of our work, has now appeared in CR. Presumably the pipeline is deFreitas. So Danny and I will raise this issue too.
