's report iulcnded the following (unreferenced) reference, on p.57:__Valentine, Tom (1987) “Magnetics may hold key to ozone layer problems,” Magnets, 2(1) 18-26.__Without even seeing the article, it is unclear how a 1987 article about ozone layer in an (offbeat, non-scholarly) technology journal could have *anything* to do with the purported investigation of 1998-1999 papers on temperature reconstructions.__AWFUL__It turns out (H/T Michael Tobis & Anna Haynes) that Tom Valentine has written about topics mentioned below, as well as psychic surgery. He was the editor of Magnets 1988-1991, a step up from his earlier writing for the National Tattler, but not a scholarly journal. He later ran a talk show that among other things promoted the dreaded black helicopters. pWhile Wegman, Scott, and Said did this pro bono, the salaries of everybody else involved in the House were paid for by US taxpayers and we got scholarship of this quality, because NAS was unlikely to address all of Mr. Barton's concerns. [DC: Dunno why, but I had to fish this out of the spam filter. ]
