[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1280749, member: 40736"] There you go again, being dishonest. No surprise there, when the facts don't fit, change them. [B]Email Was Actually About Meeting Page Limits.[/B] The full email reveals that Overpeck is advising Villalba to edit a lengthy outline down to "0.5 pages of HIGHLY focused and relevant stuff." They are discussing a "Section on Modes of Variability" for the Palaeoclimate chapter of the draft 2007 IPCC report. From Overpeck's email: I think the hardest, yet most important part, is to boil the section down to 0.5 pages. In looking over your good outline, sent back on Oct. 17 (my delay is due to fatherdom just after this time), you cover ALOT. The trick may be to decide on the main message and use that to guid what's included and what is left out. For the IPCC, we need to know what is relevant and useful for assessing recent and future climate change. Moreover, we have to have solid data - not inconclusive information.
