I highly suggest reading "State of Fear" by Crichton...awesome book.

I suggest reading these two articles to get a sense of Crichton's accuracy -- even if the book was enjoyable.

Michael Crichton's State of Confusion

Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion II: Return of the Science

What is your handle at Real Climate?

I've taken a quick look at the sites. These comments capture it nicely:

"Our current 'best guess' is that the global mean changes in temperature (including the 1940-1970 cooling) are actually quite closely related to the forcings."

GUESS!??!?! I guess they are wrong.

"However, in no case has anyone managed to show that the recent warming can be matched without the increases in CO2 "

So, instead of proving that CO2 causes GW, opponents have to prove that it doesn't....BRILLIANT!!
