Stuart,
Thanks for crafting such a high quality posting, and providing helpful instructions on how we should make best use of your hard work. Your letter does a great job of pushing peak oil back onto the discussion agenda. Back in April Ian Dunlop, myself and others built our various Garnaut submissions around peak oil messages, but none of us seems to have succeeded in influencing the outputs of the Garnaut enquiry as far as I can see. Taking a second shot at the target seems a very good idea.
Cheers, Mark
If I could make a suggestion, simplify your case down to the barest essentials (oil supply forecast is wrong, thus any climate change policy coming from it is wrong as well). Wait till the report is due to hit the press and then send out a press release with the simple message and links to a nice simple pretty graph just before the report release (eg night before).
Journalists are always looking for the story and you have a good chance of getting coverage from someone or other. Remember, essentially write the story for them, in the style journalists tend to use.
You would be amazed how well that works.
Oh, and the report will be reviewed by politicians, find the name of one who is contrarian and feed them questions that will make them look on the ball.
