Go and ask publications like Science, Nature, Scientific American, American Physical Society and just about all the other scientific / technical magazines how many submissions on GW coming from natural sources they rejected since those submissions did not fit into the "accepted" model of global warming. But then with pending legal litigation, they may have already clammed up. Then go and check the credentials of those people who were rejected. Their names and universities and degrees were given in several science newspapers, publications and websites (such as last year), but not given much publicity when the names / qualifications of the people are put on the last pages of the publications or at the bottom of the web sites in fine print. Now you won't find those people on any of the web sites. In some cases, it has been because some of the colleagues have taken legal action. In my case, it's because they didn't think that someone like me with university education in statistics and earth sciences should *ever* question anything like global warming. My colleagues who studied methane hydrates were basically verbally abused by others and even threatened at places like U Penn, U Michigan, Colorado universities, etc. Good luck in finding past publications with anyone's names anymore. > Ms. French, > > On Sun, 24 Jun 2007, Catherine French wrote: > >> The IPCC does NOT want to hear from those scientists and researchers >> (like me and my colleagues) > > > Sorry, what is your academic degree and professional affiliation?
