I just got the whiff of this story today and sent an email to the guy telling him what the RW blogosphere was saying about him

text of email:

"Dear Professor Pianka

Recently I stumbled across an article, on the right wing blogosphere, that accused you of making some extreme statements in a presentation at the Texas Academy Of Science held from March 3rd-5th.

This is the link to the first site I found this article
http://bamapachyderm.com/

It links to this article, authored by a Forest M. Mimms
http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2006/2006-04-07/feature1p/index.html

The author states that you made the assertion that Ebola should be used to wipe out 90% of the human population, as well as some other comments, and that you received a standing ovation for said comments.

I only ask for confirmation of these comments(I hope for a refutation).

As you must certainly know, the right wing is at war with science and such comments would be pure gold in their quest to frighten their followers about 'dangerous professors'.

I appreciate any response you can give me"

Dudes probably getting deluged as we speak
