*I have repeatedly asked to have my name removed from AMEG website and they have not complied with my requests.* * * *I think this is entirely inappropriate and highly unprofessional behavior on the part of AMEG* * * *I am not a supporter or member of AMEG and never have been.*
They asked me a question and I answered. This does not give them the right to list me as an adviser. Below is copies of emails I have sent to John Nissen: *I ask John to remove my name from the AMEG web site today.* * * *I request that member of AMEG google my name and AMEG and send an email to every site associating me with AMEG saying that I do not now and never have had any association with AMEG (other than answering questions as I would for nearly anyone), that I am not a member of AMEG, that I do not consider myself to be an adviser of AMEG, that AMEG never obtained permission from me to list my name on their web site, and that they kept my name on their website despite my repeated requests to remove my name.* * * *I would like to be cc'd on all of these emails*. -------- SUBJECT: Please remove my name from AMEG web page Ken Caldeira <[email protected]> 5/2/12 to John, Thomas, Michael John, I see I am listed on the page: http://ameg.me/index.php/about-ameg While you are literally correct in saying that my advice was sought and obtained, listing my name is giving people the impression that I approve of AMEG statements. Please remove my name from your web site as soon as possible. Thank you. Regards, Ken Caldeira ------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Please remove my name from AMEG web page Ken Caldeira <[email protected]> 5/2/12 to John In general, you should contact people and seek their approval before listing their names on your site in any capacity. Some people might be willing to give advice without wanting to be seen as "advisers" to your group ------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT: Please remove my name from AMEG web page Ken Caldeira <[email protected]> 5/3/12 to John, Thomas, Michael John, I do not think the evidence for a powerful feedback involving arctic warming and catastrophic methane release has been established, nor do I think there is substantial evidence supporting this perspective. I do not think it has a zero chance, but in IPCC parlance I would suggest it is very unlikely, if not exceptionally unlikely. However, I do not pretend to great expertise in this area, so my assessment of probabilities should bear little weight. In any case, I already make enough reckless statements myself that I do not see benefit to myself of being associated with other people's reckless statements. I find you to be a sympathetic man and I bear you no ill will. I have plenty of friends with whom I disagree, but I don't want to be associated with their comments either. Regards, Ken ------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Please remove my name from AMEG web page Ken Caldeira <[email protected]> May 29 (9 days ago) to John John, This page has been brought to my attention. People are inferring from it that I share the views of AMEG. http://www.ameg.me/index.php/about-ameg/contributors In the preparation of the 2010 workshop report and AGU conference poster presentation, scientific and/or engineering advice was sought and obtained from the following people: Ken Caldeira, Professor of Environmental Earth System Sciences, Stanford University, US People are inferring from this that I share the views of AMEG. I earlier requested that my name be removed and it was not. I already have enough trouble with the ChemTrails folks and other nutters. They are using your site as further evidence that I am advocating geoengineering when I am in fact advocating only its research. Thank you, Ken ------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Please remove my name from AMEG web page Ken Caldeira <[email protected]> Jun 1 (6 days ago) to John John, Here is another site confusing me for an AMEG member: http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2013/05/29/climate-crisis-radical-action-or-a-new-battlefront-in-the-war-on-nature Please remove my name from the AMEG web site ASAP.
