Currently reading Michael Crichton's book "State of Fear". He does a masterful job of countering all the "global warming" arguments.

We tend to believe that the earth is just a mound of dirt speeding through space doing its thing. The fact is that the earth is a living organism that goes through periodic changes just as we do. Warming and cooling cycles are normal - it is only a phenomenon to so-called "scientists" who believe that weather events only started circa 1950.

I recently went on a trip and listed to "State of Fear" on CD - the evening I got home, some guy was on a TV newscast spouting all the global warming stuff and it sounded just like one of the characters in the book. Crighton won't get invited to all the big lefty cocktail parties after this.

State of Fear, a very good book. Another is "The Skeptical Environmentalist" by Borg.

The state of knowledge about global climate is very poor. But we can't understand ocean - climate interaction, as the article states. Imagine predicting el nino several months in advance! This year its called la nina and is not raining throughout the countries midsection. But these events also affect climates in Europe and Asia. We don't have a clue. This is why people who KNOW things about the climate are so irritating. I don't mind conservation and even switching to nuclear power to reduce the use of fossile fuels, but I don't kid myself that my actions (or even the collective actions of all mankind) are going to change what mother nature intends for the climate in the next 50 years.
