In reply to an astroturfer

I saw that an astroturfer commented a few months back below a George Monbiot Guardian article where the comments below somehow got round to discussing me (an astroturfer is someone (often paid) to spread disinformation) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing. Anyway he/she was interested in my published scientific credentials. So, here they are from long-long ago.
