   Dear Quirin,
       Can you call me early tomorrow as I have a few things to finish today?
    Can you call between 08.30-09.30 tomorrow UK time, so one hour later your
    time?   Number is +44 1603 592090 .
      I would prefer not to talk much about the GRL paper, as McIntyre and McKittirick
    are wrong and the paper should never have been accepted by GRL.  There is a lot
    on this on this web site [1]http://www.realclimate.org/  . I know this site is partly run
    by Mike Mann. The GRL paper was not reviewed by paleo people but by hydrologists.
    The GRL paper is wrong because it just can't have been that warm in the 15th century.
    The paper is a complete outlier.
      Happy to talk about the Moberg et al. paper.  I've seen an earlier draft, but I know
    from Anders that the results haven't changed since I heard him present it at a meeting
    in 2004.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear Dr Jones,

     I am working on a news article for Nature about the issue of temperature variability in
     the last 1,000 years, pegged to the lMcIntyre/McKitrick paper in GRL, and a paper by
     Anders Moberg in the 10 February issue in Nature.

     It would be interested in your viewpoint. Can I call you today or later this week?

     Thank you very much for your help with this.

     Sincerely,
     Quirin Schiemreier
