Iconoclastic researcher warms up the debate This profile of Dr. Arthur Robinson, who initiated the Oregon Petition Against the Kyoto Accord, appeared Sunday, May 10, on the front page of The Oregonian newspaper in Portland, Oregon. Rather ironic, of course, is that reporter Richard Hill's description of Robinson--self-sufficient, "back to the land" individualist in a rural Oregon locale--would have aptly described, 30 years ago, your typical environmentalist. Now environmentalists get multi ...
