Fraser Institute note

A second page on the Fraser Institute appeared, mis-spelled the Fraser Institure... I merged the material on this new page with the original Fraser Institute page. However, the funding info that's been added (from Sourcewatch?) needs original references given -- please follow up things like the annual reports of the Institute and give those as refs, ie not enough to say that Sourcewatch is the source. also, pls give complete refs -- how do do this is at the top of the Globalisation page http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Globalisation_Project

thanks! --Claire Robinson 13:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Statistical Assessment Service--a few q's

HI Elaine

managing ed here. re yr page on

Statistical Assessment Service http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Globalisation:Statistical_Assessment_Service

the intro sentence:

STATS has continually attacked libertarians, feminists and environmentalists

make sure you specifically address these points in yr article as this is an allegation. is STATS actually attacking environmentalists or just putting out reports denying manmade climate change etc?

your sentence:

However, David Murray was the director of the Statistical Assessment Service and Lichter the president of the Center for Media and Public Affairs, and so they clearly have an agenda.

this is an allegation, which is fine, but needs to be backed up. what agenda? what are they trying to do here? what is their implication?

Re your sentence:

In 2008, STATS released a study, entitled "Climate Scientists Agree on Warming, Disagree on Dangers, and Don’t Trust the Media’s Coverage of Climate Change" and was conducted in conjunction with Harris interactive

can you briefly give the study's gist/conclusion? what were they trying to say in the study?

also yr para beginning:

A publication called 'It Ain't Necessarily So' by David Murray, Joel Schwartz and S.Robert Lichter...

--I wasn't clear what you were saying in relation to STATS. OK, it's hard for the public to understand what they should draw from the various reports on climate etc, but how does this relate to the STATS climate study?

I know all these globalisation articles are work in prog so you were perhaps going to fill out the article anyway, but just wanted to make sure that you know the areas you need to address.

many thanks for your work
