I hope I'm not too repetitive with this but I regard it as both urgent and important.  If Steve Mc and Climate Audit folks don't jump on it quickly enough the opportunity may pass.  I think if "skeptics" can rapidly assemble a high quality list of questions for Revkin's blog, to be submitted to the Marcott authors, there's a decent chance of getting some progress on the issues.

I could take a wing on trying it, but I know there are plenty of BH and CA posters far more qualified who will get more pointed and focused questions together.  If I don't see much progress anywhere on Sunday I'll start submitting my own questions on Dot Earth, but I'm hoping some more scientific readers can do the job better.

Andy Revkin of Dot Earth/NY Times blog is inviting questions to be submitted to the authors of Marcott et al. (2013).  Since Revkin is one of the only journalists who might have a chance of getting the study authors to be responsive, this is a good opportunity.

Specifically, he's asked for someone to prepare one list of questions which are "perceived as unanswered."

Folks could start a list here at BH to post at Dot Earth, or simply post questions/points at Dot Earth until we have a good list.

Any thoughts?
