Dear all
You may also be interested in the news item on Geoscientist Online:
http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/geoscientist/geonews/page7943.html
together with the comments at the foot of the article on behalf of the Council of the Geological Society.
Not only does the item give further background to the events surrounding the earthquake but also a link to the INGV letter.
As I write this I note that there are approaching 4000 signatories from all over the world.
Best wishes
Rob Butler

It is best to assume that science is threatened and to sign. The
key point, however, is that if scientific predictions are required
by law to be exact, then no scientist worthy of the name can ever
again act on a national body and make (or fail to make) such predictions.
The Dark Ages beckon.
