   It can't hurt to set the record straight vs "240", obvious confusion with IPCC.  I would
   stay away from attacks on credentials.

      Tom,

     In my opinion, it probably can't hurt anything. Wondering what others think.

     I've forwarded the Inhofe story to Andy Revkin at NYT, who has been following this story
     with interest. I've also let him know about the response we will be submitting to Eos,

       I covered a hearing by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee
     yesterday and Sen. Inhofe broke away from the agenda for a few minutes to
     lecture some White House guy on the importance of having sound science,
     yahyah, etc.  As an example, he said, this new study about the medieval
     warming period casts a whole new light on the global warming issue. Then he
     said that this was the work of 240 of the best scientists in the world.
