Michael Crichton got it right in his well-footnoted novel, “State of Fear”. In it the well-funded man-is-causing-global-warming zealots were attempting to shear off ice sheets in the Antarctic and set off tsunamis without regard to potential loss of life in order to “convince” the world that MMGW was real.
A week or so ago I picked up a novel, “Mars Life” by Ben Bova. I read the preface where Bova spews his man-is-causing-global-warming-and-we’re-all-going-to-die crap and that is as far as I got. I looked up his website where he proudly refers to himself as Dr Ben Bova and found that he has a masters degree in communications and a PhD in educations—both non-science fields and pretty lightweight. Unfortunately most of the people preaching MMGW have very little in the way of scientific knowledge and even less in ability to think rationally.
