Let's not forget to add:

He also directed attention to a report by>> Dr. Arthur Robinson, which concluded that carbon dioxide posed no threat>> to climate. The report was not peer-reviewed, but was formatted to look>> like an NAS journal article. The NAS later issued a statement>> disassociating itself from the petition and the article.">>>> Source: "Science Academy Disputes Attack on Global Warming," New York>> Times 4/22/98>>>> I'm not judging the person who sent the petition to this forum.
