Mick,

I'm not looking for controversy - in my Guardian article I did say that there is now no longer a purely natural weather event, which I am happy to defend in debate, although the nuance of that argument I admit can be mis-interpreted.

Anyway, I'm not going to volunteer on this one - the context is too 'cold' without knowing the people involved.

Thanks for the notification,

Mike

p.s. on the MSc question, could you arrange a get-together with Declan and I?  Had a brief chat with Dec. and I think we need to explore options together.  My starting point is:

- I cannot fulfil my current obligation for 2000/01 course (Trevor has agreed to that)
- I could probably contribute 2000/01 1-2 lectures as negotiated 
- I would quite like Tyndall Centre to make a contribution in the future though, more through the global warming policy type course (maybe this could be upped to 20 credits).  We may even be able to think about 1-2 Tyndall MSc scholarships each year (and maybe some MSc dissertation topics).
- Dec is interested in exploring options for greater ENV/DEV links
