Hi Phil,

Michael Wehner and I have written a very short paper in response to all
this garbage about the climate "cooling" since 1998 (attached). We wrote
it for either Science or Nature, but Science balked at it claiming it is too
specialized (what a crock) and should go to a specialty journal. We feel
they are gun-shy about publishing controversial papers due to some lawsuit
a contrarian filed against them. I would like to get it into Nature as a 
short
contribution but its not clear to me how to do it since it is not a 
Letter and it looks
like most of these kinds of papers are solicited by Nature. Do
you have any connections there such as the editor in charge of climate 
and can
help out here? Maybe its not newsworthy enough, but we sure get enough
grief from lots of places due to the bloggers, etc. and I feel it is 
very timely.

Cheers,
Dave
