Hmmm. “Somewhat misplaced”, “pretty cool” and the stuff of prideful circulation, it’s all good but, well, which time were you telling the truth about icons?

Now read the email:

Mann circulated an email to his coauthors for MBH98 (Bradley and Hughes) to tell them about it:

I thought you might be interested in this, from today’s BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid 1130000/1130501.stm Not to slight Sir John(!), but its actually the chart in the background I’m referring to 🙂 cheers, mike

Hughes sent a humorous reply to Mann:

Highly cool! – pity about the ugly old guy in front! Cheers, Malcolm

Mann replied with this:

Hey, that’s Sir John you’re talking about! And a fellow brit, no less! I thought it was pretty cool too. I’d like to know what he was saying about the chart!

Here is the original as a PDF: Mann thinks HS as IPCC icon pretty cool

Not earthshaking by any means, but it is funny. The earthshaking stuff will come out in the upcoming discovery for Mann -vs- NRO.
