Arthur Robinson worked for Linus Pauling, researching the Nobel prize winner's theory about vitamin C and the common cold. When Robinson became disenchanted with Pauling's theory, Pauling abruptly fired him. Robinson sued, and Pauling settled out of court for $575,000.
Robinson's book on nuclear war contained a forward by Edward Teller. Robinson continued the published of Petr Beckmann's newsletter, Access to Energy.
Global Warming
He co-authored an unpublished (?) scientific paper with his son Zachary and with Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon, "Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide", with a cover letter by Frederick Seitz.
Nuclear Radiation
Robinson charges that Linus Pauling demonized Edward Teller, using a theory of linear extrapolation to zero of the harmful effects of radiation which was later disproven (see radiation hormesis). [1]
