So she demanded Harrabin change his piece - and she got her wish. She is not a scientist. She is not a climatologist. She is just an activist who has latched onto a cause to believe in and obsess about. Yet despite her lack of qualification she has manged to make the BBC News change one of its articles. She was so pleased, she <A href="http://www.jennifermarohasy.com/blog/archives/002906.html">leaked the email</A> exchanges to show other climate change activists what they can achieve when they put a bit of pressure on their sympathisers at the BBC.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/16826BBE-7C3B-4DB0-AA25-5F129192E950/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
