I'll admit after the derision, and angry slammed doors, I've received these past months, I was worried that I was about to pissed of yet another hero of mine. Boy was I in for a surprise. He's even given me permission to share his words.<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />From: Abraham, John P. <br />Mail to: citizenschallenge at gmail.com<br />Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2017 1:13 PM<br /><br />Subject: Hello, fyi quote from your 6/14/17 A-68 article.<br /><br />Peter<br />Thanks. You should know that after I drafted that article, folks from the MIDAS project got quite upset and asked me to change it (inappropriately in my mind). <br /><br />I softened some of the language to try to satisfy them (they were not satisfied). Anyways, I believe there is a connection to climate change and they believe,<b> without justification there is not. </b><br /><br /><b>Their view is not supported and is contradicted by others with more expertise than they.</b> Nevertheless this is a sore spot for me because they tried to bully me to eliminate the connection to human warming.<br /> <br />Long story short, please feel free to quote me and don’t worry if you think I should use stronger language.<br /><br />John P.

I wonder if...Oh the silence, how well I know it. <br /><br />I wonder if any of this makes sense to anyone out there? I know a few are looking in.<br /><br />If it's totally gibberish, wish someone could describe to me why - in a constructive manner.<br /><br />citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.com
