   I agree this might be a way forward - and I am certainly no less keen to work with you
   again.
   I need to study the documents - and think for a bit
   cheers

     Hi Keith,
     I hope all is well with you & family!
     Maybe the PolarCLIMATE Call from ESF can be an opportunity for a circum-Arctic (or
     Eurasian) tree-ring project!?

     I would very much like to work with you again on the northern data.

     By the way, what is your opinion of the paper by Craig Loehle recently published online
     in Climatic Change? I note that he has published several papers in Energy & Environment,
     which I guess makes him some sort of "sceptic". He has a point though. He puts in print
     some worries I have had since first starting off with the tree rings: The non-linear
     growth response, which we all know is there but which we do not really account for in
     making reconstructions.
     Cheers,
     Hkan
