   Geoff,
   I am happy to give a keynote talk - the context of climate change and something about what
   Tyndall is doing?  Our new UKCIP02 climate scenarios will be out by then.

     Mike,
     This is for the HadCM3 data for SE and SW England. It has been
     suggested that this is due to the solar model and we are
     investigating. David can send the graphs if you want. Ben Brabson
     also picked this up with his GEV modelling. There is also this trend
     on Heathrow data for the last 30 years but there may well be heat
     island effects here.
     I agree, it is against the general climate trend of rising tmin and
     stationary tmax.
     David Lister and David Chow will have the analyses for CET but the
     trend is not nearly so marked, if present, from memory.
     At our conf in April I do not expect Schellnhuber to come, although
     I've asked for confirmation by Feb. Could you give a keynote in his
     place or do you want Brian L to do it? David Fisk, Max Fordham
     Pres CIBSE, and Dave Easterling will be other keynote speakers
     with some words from CIB Sec General Wim Bakens.
     Regards
     Geoff
