    Louise,
       Unable to do this - just returned from holiday, and the family are
    coming for the next 2 weeks.
      Alternates would be Gabi Hegerl or Tom Crowley at Edinburgh.
    Gabi Hegerl <gabi.hegerl@ed.ac.uk>
    Tom Crowley is also at Edinburgh, but I can't find his email.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear Professor Jones,
     MANUSCRIPT ID: RSPA-2008-0296
     TITLE: Analysis of the solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature rise: a
     reply to Lockwood.
     AUTHOR(S): Scafetta, Nicola
     I am writing to ask if you would consider refereeing the above manuscript for
     Proceedings A; a comment on a collection of previous published papers by Lockwood et
     al?  I have included the paper's abstract below.  As we endeavour to keep time from
     submission to publication as short as possible, we usually ask referees to report back
     within 3 weeks of receiving the manuscript. Please let me know if you would be
     interested in commenting on this manuscript. If you would like to review this manuscript
     but require more time, please contact the editorial office for an extension.
     If you are unable to review at this time, I would be grateful if you could possibly
     suggest a few people who you feel would be able to comment on this.  Please click the
     appropriate link at the bottom of the page to automatically register your reply with our
     online manuscript submission and review system.
     Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you.
     Kind Regards,
     Louise Gardner, Editorial Coordinator

     ABSTRACT: Herein I critique three recent works [Lockwood and Fr\"ohlich, 2007 and
     2008a;  Lockwood 2008b] that claim that the sun has given a negligible contribution to
     the  global warming  observed during the last three decades   regardless of which
     satellite total solar irradiance  record is adopted. I show that the above studies
     present several and serious  scientific  flaws which make them incompatible with  a
     large established scientific literature. I show that when  Lockwood's model [2008b] is
     corrected  to quantitatively accommodate the already established scientific findings, it
     is found  that the sun has likely and significantly contributed to the observed global
     warming. The solar percentage to the global warming since 1980 ranges from a slight
     negative value to a value that can be as large as 60\%. This wide range is related to
     the uncertainty of the total solar irradiance satellite composites.
