Lush Environment
What mankind is doing is moving hydrocarbons from below ground and turning them into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of the carbon dioxide increase. Our children will enjoy an Earth with twice as much plant and animal life as that with which we now are blessed. This is a wonderful and unexpected gift from the industrial revolution.
Has this guy ever been in a city like Mexico, or even Paris during the summer months ? Has he ever driven by Newark on the NJ turnpike ?
He talks only about CO2 emissions, but there are also SO2 and NOx which are nocive. Further, the lush environment argument would assume that man lets forrests grow. But another "wonderful" gift from the industrial revolution is called urbanisation, and I don`t see much forrests grow into big cities.
Hydrocarbons are needed to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe. This can eventually allow all human beings to live long, prosperous, healthy, productive lives.
There may be cleaner ways to do it.
No other single technological factor is more important to the increase in the quality, length and quantity of human life than the continued, expanded and unrationed use of the Earth's hydrocarbons, of which we have proven reserves to last more than 1,000 years.
I`d like to see what reserves will last more than 1000 years. Coal ?
Global warming is a myth.
No, it is a reality. Typical misuse of words. Man-made global warming might be called a myth, certainly not global warming.
The reality is that global poverty and death would be the result of Kyoto's rationing of hydrocarbons.
The reality is that these guys have an agenda, let us learn more about them.
Arthur Robinson and Zachary Robinson are chemists at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.

1- He has 6 kids and practices homeschooling. Arthur is the father, Zachary is one of his sons.

2- He publishes a non-peer reviewed newsletter called Access to Energy.

More about it:
This is one of those rare newsletters that does not stop with just publication, but goes into effective action for the causes it espouses._ The latest instance of this is the Petition Project - an anti-global warming petition signed by over 17,000 scientists - which exposes Al Gore's "scientific consensus" on global warming as phony._ This Petition Project was funded by subscriptions and donations from the readers of Access to Energy . See Global Warming Debunking News and Views for more.
3- He lives on a 350 acres farm in southern Oregon.

Sure, I `d be for coal burning to, if I had 350 acres of forrest around me.
A short distance from the farm house there stand several buildings of steel construction. The largest, with 10,000 square feet of floor space, houses the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, founded by Art Robinson in 1980. Inside there was an electrical hum, but few people. Jane Orient of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, visiting from Tucson, was working alone in the small library. Some of the labs are unused, others contain equipment-vials, bottles, a cryogenic freezer-that was mostly bought at auction. The mass spectrometer cost $150,000 second hand. "It's a miracle in a box," Art says. Mass spectrometers were used at Oak Ridge to help develop the atomic bomb, but this version is many times more powerful. Robinson is using it to work on "molecular clocks" in the body. This could shed light on one of the greatest unsolved problems of biochemistry—aging. "It's not understood at all," he says.
Art has no employees—another triumph of the computer revolution. But his children help out as lab assistants, and recently Noah became a full-fledged co-worker.
Okay, so he has made his own institute where he employs his kids. Weird, but why not...Let us try to find a list of his peer reviewed publications now...well, I am still searching. Let us check the website of his institute:
http://www.oism.org/
No publication list there. Under Robinson, it says:
Dr. Robinson conducts research on protein chemistry and on nutrition and predictive and preventive medicine. He also works on civil defense and on development of home schooling techniques and edits the newsletter Access to Energy. Dr. Robinson was a faculty member of the University of California at San Diego and was President and Research Director of the Linus Pauling Institute before founding the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine with his wife Laurelee, who was also a scientist.
Conclusion: Arthur Robinson is an outcast scientist, does not teach in any University, and I have yet to see any peer reviewed paper he has written.
