   Dear Tom,
   My explanation is the following:
   Zichichi is primarily a theoretical physicist involved in neutrino research. So any theory
   involving the Sun ... and any opportunity to show that they (physicists) are better than us
   (climatologists) is welcome.
   Best Regards,
   Andr

     Andre,
     I agree. I heard that Zichichi has links with the Vatican. A number of other greenhouse
     skeptics have extreme religious views. Perhaps they believe that god would not let us do
     this to the planet, and that, if we do, she will save us?
     Hmmmm.
     Tom.

     Dear All,
     More I read your email about the "anti-CO2", more I am convinced that an International
     Committee on Ethics in Geo-Sciences is needed.  Indeed either we do not answer their
     attacks or we lose time and money doing it. The third solution is an official statement
     telling what the members of such a Committee of Ethics think about irresponsible
     statements by such anti-CO2 fellows.
     Best Regards,
     Andr
