\"ImageI received this email this morning from Roger Harribin, the BBC\u2019s environmental analyst. It\u2019s interesting because I received an email from the Guardian yesterday asking if I\u2019d like to write a 200 word guest piece. Unfortunately it somehow ended up in my spam filter (which I found this morning) so I missed the 3 PM GMT deadline today. Here\u2019s what Mr. Harrabin wrote. I hope WUWT readers will come to aid, especially since skeptics are now apparently getting a voice in UK MSM.<\/p>\n

Dear Mr Watts,<\/p>\n

I am trying to talk to UK scientists in current academic posts who are sceptical about AGW.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m struggling to find anyone \u2013 but there may of course be a number of reasons for this. Please could you post my request on your website \u2013 and ask people to email roger.harrabin@bbc.co.uk.<\/p>\n

We are looking for scientists, of course \u2013 not insults.<\/p>\n

It strikes me that it might be useful to meet sometime to discuss a project I am planning on the weather.<\/p>\n

I enclose my latest column Harrabin’s Notes: Raising the error bar<\/a> which touches on the difficulties of reporting climate change FYI.<\/p>\n

I look forward to hearing from you<\/p>\n

Yours Roger Harrabin<\/p>\n

If you know of a skeptical scientist in the UK that may be interested, please advise them of this. Thanks to all for your consideration. \u2013 Anthony
