Bishop Hill in Climate: HSI

A reader advises me of some correspondence he has had with Prof Nick Hewitt, the author of the "review" of the Hockey Stick Illusion in Chemistry World. Prof Hewitt notes in passing that he has received abusive emails as a result of his article.

If anyone has been doing this, please stop. It doesn't help.  There is a fine line to be trodden between being rude about what someone says and being abusive. Don't cross it.
