Mike,
I'd rather you didn't. I think it should be sufficient to forward the para from Andrew
Conrie's
email that says the paper has been rejected by all 3 reviewers. You can say that the
paper was an extended and updated version of that which appeared in CR.
Obviously, under no circumstances should any of this get back to Pielke.
Cheers
Phil

Thanks a bunch Phil,
Along lines as my other email, would it be (?) for me to forward this to the chair of
our commitee confidentially, and for his internal purposes only, to help bolster the
case against MM??
let me know...
thanks,
mike

Temperature Trends"
Authors: RR McKitrick & PJ Michaels

Following from our email, many thanks for agreeing to review the paper above that has
been submitted to the International Journal of Climatology for consideration. I have
attached the manuscript, and the information for reviewers is provided below. Please let

In the interests of expediting the review process, I encourage you to email your review
as soon as is convenient. I would like to hear from you by the target date above, or as
soon after as possible.
Referee's names are kept anonymous. When composing your review, please keep your
"Comments to the Author" separate from your confidential comments to the editor. With
your comments to me, please be sure to provide one of these summary recommendations:
1. Accept without further revision.
2. Accept subject to minor revisions (changes to the text only, or simple follow-on
analyses).
3. Accept subject to major revisions (major text changes, recalculations or new
analyses).
4. Reject.
In the case of minor revisions, the revised manuscript will be checked only by the
editor. For major revisions, the revised manuscript may be sent to you again for a

B. Good (satisfactory and of sufficient importance to merit publication).
C. Adequate (of marginal interest).
D. Poor (not significant enough to merit publication).
E. Very poor (trivial, or incorrect, or of no interest, or not new, etc.).
For your review, please also comment if any of the following points are not satisfactory
or suitable: topic appropriate for the journal, correctness of the title, reduction in
paper length, quality and quantity of illustrations, units, use of English, and key
words.
Your contribution to the review process is essential and greatly valued.
