    Chris,
       I sent it. He says he'll read the IPCC Chapters! He hadn't
    as he said he thought they were politically biased. I assured
    him they were not. The SPM may be, but not the chapters.
       From other things in his email though, he won't be convinced.
    Cheers
    Phil

     I have not been in work for some days as I mainly work at home. So I
     have not seen the letter. Please go ahead as you think best.

       Chris,
          Maybe you'll get or have got a letter from a (probably retired)
     nuclear
       physicist living in Warrington. It relates to the 2009 temperature
     forecast.
       I'm going to send him a quick reply pointing to the IPCC AR4 website
     and
       a CRU page which has some of the papers accessible. He seems to get
       his information from blog sites! He claims that it is unworthy
     therefore to
       possibly stress some perhaps, vulnerable members of the UK population
       with such immoderate stories.
         I'll also send him the full press release.
       Cheers
       Phil
