Re: [Phys-l] petition packet

[Richard Hake <rrhake@earthlink.net>]

I am yet another recipient of Fred Seitz's request to sign a petition 
indicating my agreement that "there is substantial scientific 
evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many 
beneficial effects upon the natural planet and animal environments on 
the Earth."

I am grateful to John Mallinckrodt (2007) for his list of informative 
references on the background and nature of the petition.

I note that both Bob LaMontagne and Rick Tarara have made negative 
comments on John's post.

I can think of no more positive testimony to a post's merit than its 
criticism by BOTH Bob LaMontagne  and Rick Tarara.

I am proud to say that my own posts on Phys-L regarding physics 
education have received similar honors from the LaMontagne/Tarara 
team.
