>I highly recommend this book. It's much better than Prey was ;)

Yes, it is better
than Prey, but this book sucks, too.
Nothing but lawyers

talking to lawyers,
then Martin Sheen gets eaten.
One good scene. That's it.

I thought that character was more of a cross between Martin Sheen (plays a pres on TV) and Ed Beagley..enviro whacko

Chricton is no Conservative [he likes, respects Al Gore - said he wished he'd become prez #43] and this is turning into a classic case of the media and Lefties eating their own. He makes excellent sense in State of Fear and in his speeches - I saw him reiterate and defend himself on Charlie Rose:

1. Global Warming is happening.

2. Man is likely NOT the cause.

3. Regardless, man can do little to prevent, manage or affect climate change.

4. The "science" of Global Warming is suspect at best - if not downright criminally hyped and conducted.

5. The "science" of Global Warming can neither be conclusively tested nor proven empirically, so therefore throwing gobs and gobs of taxpayer money in a hysterical fashion at a cause it may or may not help is irresponsible and ultimately destructive.

For this he is being fried by his fellow media types.

More tellingly, he has become an apostate, or a dissenting voice against the church of environmentalism, a "denier" who will pay for his heresy...
