    Phil,
        WRT your embargo, the link to the Guardian piece may be interesting. NOAA has
    also introduced an embargo as well.  Tom Karl had a paper in Science in early Dec03
    with Kevin Trenberth.  He sent it up the chain of command beforehand and has he
    got no response he submitted it.  The higher-ups hadn't read it. Now when he submits
    anything he has to get it signed off by the deputy head and the head of NOAA (the
   so-called
    Admiral).  He was also told in December not to deal with the media when the paper
    came out !  So the press interviewed Kevin instead to get his view.  For NOAA they
    had to talk to the deputy head who like the head is a political appointee.
       Tom Karl is the Director of NCDC !
        Would the meddling past Director be Bill Kininmonth, by any chance ?  He's been
    responding on several subjects on the main skeptic email list.  Mike Manton told me he
    was a pain in the backside even when he was director.
       It seems to have been warm down your way. Oodnadatta with 9 nights above 30 C !
    Paris has two nights in August with night mins above 25 C and 15,000 died.  You've got
    the air conditioning, I hope !  I've met two different people outside CRU who've told me
   their
    granny's were doing well until the warmth in August. Both said they haven't fully
   recovered
    yet from the near 38C we had then for a few days.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Careful with that planet, Mr President
     Diana Liverman spent years as a senior climate adviser in the US. Now back
     in the UK, she argues for American scientists to be freed from their fear
     of speaking out on global warming - before it's too late.
