Regarding the pseudo-paper many of us may have received, care of the
Oregon Institute of whatever-they-decided-to-call-it:

   My response is less measured and civil than Dr. Huenneke's.  The
pblication's format closely mimiced PNAS, but with no publisher.  It was
not peer-reviewed (although it may have been examined by its sponsors in
the fossil fuel industries).  In other words, it is bogus by most accepted
standards.  It will serve as a recent example of "brownlash" activity in
my courses, not that I am hard-pressed to find other examples.
   A petition signature card was enclosed, with a return envelope, to
recruit adressees in a campaign to nullify the Kyoto accord. I returned
mine with a rather personal message, and I encourage others to something
similar.  It will cost a 32 cent stamp. Mine featured a drawing of Bugs
Bunny.

Cheers
