This is an excellent book. It debunks global warming with actual facts. A must read

Great book. Crichton has done a great job of exposing the envirowackos as
(1) leaders of environmental groups who are chiefly interested in fund raising and see the use of fraudulent "global warming" scare stories as standard fund raising propaganda;
(2) ignorant and gullible Hollywood types/liberal arts grads who fall for this crap and support it;
(3) ignorant reporters and editors in the press who uncritically publish the environmentalists propaganda as if it were fact; and
(4) unscrupulous climate scientists who see the environmentalist hysteria as a great way of getting government grants.

Don't really care for Mr Crichton's novels, but dang, that guy can write an essay!

The whole junk science angle sounds like the latest article on my so-called blog, entitled Everything Causes Cancer! (Not for the verbally squeamish, but it pops in a new window.)

One of the main problems, and reasons that things like global warming get accepted uncritically as established fact, is that science education in our country is woefully inept. People have no clue what good scientific practice is, and they are not taught to think critically, or to question. Too many just accept what they're told, and if enough scientific jargon is thrown in, they're so impressed by it that they are completely unable to perceive how they are being hoodwinked.
