    Hi Roger,

    I listened to part of your and others’ testimony today. (The sound quality was terrible, so I couldn’t turn it very loud.)

    I’ll probably have some other comments, but overall I thought your comments were by far the ones most likely to actually lead to something.

    But I do a specific question. Your last words were, “Through oversight of the Climate Change Science Program and Climate Change Technology
    Program, Congress might motivate the evolution of these programs to focus more explicitly on the needs of decision makers.”

    That may mean something to people in Congress ;-) but it’s pretty abstract for civilians like me. Do you have some concrete examples you’re thinking of about how Congress could change the direction of those programs?

    Mark

    Well,

    Looks like Ken Livingstone agrees with you!

    New report just released on the importance of the two-pronged approach to the future development of London (they are still, of course, continuing with the Gateway)
