So maybe the Union of Concerned Scientists could do the distribution instead?

Joe,
OK, I will make contact with 4-5 people (including John Mitchell) and see what
comments I get back. Does Bert Bolin rank as one of your top scientists? He is
receiving an Honorary Degree from our University today and if I see him when he
calls by I could mention the idea to him. What do you think? or do you wish to
wait until we have an initial reaction from people?
About WWF …. I still feel a little uncomfortable using a ‘loaded’ organisation
like WWF to distribute the statement. It may well detract from the statement as
it will be perceived to be biased. But it’s difficult to know how else we can
enlist widespread support. Is there not an organisation called the Union of
Concerned Scientists – would this do the job?
I will think some more about it.
Mike
For more background on how this pre-Kyoto Statement came into being (and Hulme’s role – as well as that of Joe Alcamo, Rob Swart and WWF), there were a number of very interesting emails in CG2 (although the Statement had appeared in CG1).

In case you’re wondering, Hulme and his co-writers seemed to overcome any qualms about working with WWF on this:

Of course it’s biased. The alarmists are attempting to use a “fear based meme” to encourage a political response. If “global warming” doesn’t work, brace yourself for the next one … the “shortage of potable water” on the planet.
The usual nostrums are required: More “social justice” and statist/collectivist action to quash individual rights and liberties. The key focus is always on solutions requiring far left policies. That explains why there are always biases in these various disaster scenarios.
If the folks behind this crap were truly committed to their goal of “reducing human’s footprint on the planet” they’d be the first volunteers to off themselves. Then we wouldn’t have to worry about all these fake “coming disasters.”
