there were the emails. probably a little more made of that. think people think that scientists are like high priests. science is a messy business. science labs are full of competition and bristing egos just like any human institution. part of the fact that we have almost too much faith in scientists and then there was a moment in the i.p.c. report, the climate change body that reports every few years that exaggerated by a factor of 10 ice melt up in the high tibetan plateau. that at least was pointed out by a climate scientist so in the sciences having to deal with itself really, having to be rigorous with itself. tavis: i want to come back to -- first thing is how do you decide to take a very serious issue, an issue to your point is being debated now like climate change and fictionalize it. >> it is really difficult. i would like to write a novel around this subject but you know, it is full of morals, ethics, politics, statistics. hard science and couldn't see a way in so five years ago i took a trip up to the arctic with some scientists. we

the other one, the last one which i know has been something you have received several emails on is the section 311 modifications that we have received or asked to make at this point. obviously this is a long-term process to amend the d.r. process and we are not trying to amend the d.r. process. there is no intent to amend any of the d.r. process. what we were asked to do by the d.r. team and the department was to streamline and cleanup this part that deals with the notification package. and what specifically has to go in the 311 package that gets mailed out for 30 day. it is not meant to remove any of the requirements both written and planneded note. i have realized there is a word that is somewhat ambiguous and would ask the commission strike that. for example, the notification package for a project under 311 shall include a written notice and reduced size drawings of the project. that is very vague and makes it sound like the department will not provide drawings. access is a bad word and will say shall include written notice and drawings. we are acknowledging that was a poor choice o
