  3. World Modelling Summit takes place at ECMWF (6-9 May 2008). Nearly 150 participants from all modeling centers of the world. The Organizing Committee included: Kinter, Palmer & Shukla Article in Nature, May 2008

  5. Email dated September 4, 2009 Many thanks Dr. Shukla Good to hear from you.  I like your proposal. I am sharing this idea with Mr. Nitin Desai, Dr.Mashelkar, Dr.ShaileshNayak and Dr.Pachaurias well for their reactions. Let us take it forward and I am more than willing to champion it (at the Copenhagen Summit). -JairamRamesh Minister of Environment, India

  6. US Climate Modeling • US Climate Modeling • It is necessary to revolutionize climate prediction, is it possible? • USGCRP (NSF, NOAA, NASA, DOE) • OSTP

  7. Email dated November 13, 2009 Dear Professor Shukla, I apologize for being a poor correspondent.  Your e-mails are not going into the “junk” file.   But the bigger problem, for my responsiveness, than the 200 e-mails from “outside” I get per day are the 50 (and the 10 phone calls) I get from the West Wing – which ensure that I never get around to responding to most of the outside inquiries and proposals.    I will try to make the time to reflect on your suggestions and get the reactions of others who work on these matters in OSTP, and will then see if we can find  a way to move forward.  I will get back to you. -John Holdren Assistant to the President for Science and Technology Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy
