[ RadSafe ] The Great Global Warming Swindle

[Steven Dapra]

March 17

Otto:

         Where were Prof. Lindzen's comments published?  Has the 
correlation of sunspot activity been published in a journal that is readily 
accessible to the layman, and if so which journal and what is the citation?

         Thank you for your assistance.
