Readers may remember that Nigel Lawson had responded positively to Paul Nurse's offer to put forward some scientists who wanted to engage on the great global warming questions. Today, Hannah Devlin, the science editor at the Times, has tweeted that the Royal Society has now sent GWPF a list of scientists who are willing to take part:
I hear @royalsociety has sent @TheGWPF list of top scientists who'd be happy to provide sound advice on evidence for climate change 1/2
I do hope @TheGWPF takes @royalsociety up on this offer to engage with mainstream scientific community 2/2
Nothing from GWPF itself yet.
GWPF tweet that they have had nothing from Sir Paul:
@hannahdev @royalsociety sorry, but we have received no such letter
Somebody at the Royal Society press office may be in trouble, I reckon.
