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
