Yes, that's my recollection too. I think the interminable arguments
about GW got too much.

It's probably relevant that the charter for this group, which is
probably largely his work since he was the group's original proposer,
includes: "Any discussion of climate issues should be from a scientific
standpoint and not a political (or environmental-activist) one." So he
obviously feared what might happen, but it happened anyway. See:

Yes it was that John and I think I was partially to blame, which is a
shame as I liked Phillip. He was right of course but the trouble is
you get to know people and its difficult having to start in another
group.

It was big of you to say that. It's things like that which, in spite of
the times I want to strangle you, make me like you.
