« Quack | Main | Senator Inhofe Prefers His Science in Comic Book Form (And Wrong) »

State of Unclear

Micheal Crichton's new book "State of Fear" has all the trappings of - surprise! - a hackneyed, cookie-cutter Hollywood thriller. Exotic locations, a beautiful heroine, action-packed scenes, and a nefarious plot by evil villains bent on world domination. Here's the twist: the evil villains are environmentalists, scientists and liberal college professors intent on perpetrating a hoax called "global warming". In the book, these self-righteous miscreants stage man-made environmental catastrophes to scare the world into believing their crazy theories. Crichton's facts – he ends the book with a diatribe on climate change - are meticulously cherry-picked and often flat-out wrong. You can read a point-by-point response to his arguments here (and here and also here).

It’s funny, because I always thought Michael Crichton was a big conservationist - he's a strong believer in recycling plots.
