   Dear All,
   I guess this is actually "The Observer". A bit confusing,

     Mike and Phil,
     Perhaps more relevant than which media have already carried the story, copies of your
     Eos paper were distributed at a Senate briefing yesterday, and the minority (i.e.,
     Democratic Party) staff is inviting Mike to appear at a hearing later in the month. (I
     trust Mike got and responded to the message??)

      Mike,
         The New Scientist article is here in hard copy form. It isn't on the web site - no
     link to it.
      It is fair and shows a diagram of the NH and SH (from the GRL paper !!!). Titled
      'Climatologists hit back at greenhouse sceptics'.
         Fred Pearce didn't call Tim and Keith here earlier in the week. The only call they
     got was
      from the Sunday Telegraph who may run with something, but they haven't called back.
         No-one called me in Japan, so I guess we will have to wait for the GRL article. I'm
     away
      from August 2 for two weeks, so I hope you'll get more then. I will be here the whole
     of the
      July 28 week.
         The sceptics have seen it though from the two emails from Timo Hameranta.
         Cheers
      Phil

     Dear Harvey,
     Do you know if there has been anything in the press on this yet? I've seen the press
     release posted on various outlets on the WEB, and there has been lots of interest from
     politicos and other scientists on this. However, the only article that I'm aware of on
     this is apparently slated for the July 12 issue of "New Scientist". I haven't seen the
     article yet (not available online).
     Perhaps Tim, Phil, or Ray have other information.
     best regards,
     mike

     All,
     We issued the press release at 3:40 p.m. EDT Monday, July 7. It was sent to 900 science
     writers worldwide on our distribution list and posted on EurekAlert!, the AAAS web site
     for science press releases.
     Almost immediately, we received requests for the full article from The New York Times,
     USA Today, National Public Radio, Toronto Star, San Jose Mercury News, Cox Newspapers,
     Richmond Times-Dispatch, and four freelancers. It was too late for most Europeans to
     receive the release Monday, so we expect additional requests Tuesday morning.
     Thanks to all for your help.
     Harvey
