CCNet (network)
CCNet (Cambridge Conference Network), a network which aims to stimulate debate and disseminate information and research findings relating to risks to civilization from Near-Earth Object including comets, asteroids, and meteor streams and what it considers as doomsday scaremongering about the possible effects of climate change.[1] It claims to offer "accuracy and reliability of the highest quality, built on reason and matter-of-factness" and to respond to a "low-spirited world subjugated by pessimists and prophets of doom".[2]
CCNet was founded by Dr Benny Peiser from Liverpool John Moores University, United Kingdom[3] and claims to have 7,000 subscribers including 1,000 researchers and hundreds of policy and law makers.[2] Posts are available on the CCNet website up until July 2006.[2]
