 Tim,
   Here are a few thoughts from 3am here in Sydney. Have had
 12 hours sleep, just not at the right time!

   I can elaborate on the issues more when I present this
 on Weds next week - a week today I see! I must try and not
 give them all the answers when I do present things!

   I have elaborated on a few of the examples to restrict
 the hurricanes to the N. Atlantic, for example. Also they
 shouldn't get into the date(s) of the MWP, although noting
 that it is very variable would be a good thing.

   The text with all the questions/issues is fine. For each
 question, I can come up with an initial reference or two
 for them to start with. This will be the AR4 report of WG1
 for most, the CCSP report for the LT, but ocean pH is
 hardly covered at all by the AR4 - WG1 and WG2.

   Anyway, a good start - not much more for me to do, except
 present it on the day.

 Cheers
 Phil
