Probably because Michael Crichton spent three years researching the issue, has a profuse bibliography backing it up, and offers a factually based analysis ?

Yes, Amazing how his book predicted sudden change when the 100yrs. out scenario didn't seem to get people excited.
His graphs and charts blow the extreme weather increase crowd out of the water.

I'm about 3/4 through the book.( They just landed in the S. Pacific)
Very good read.

I have his book 'Prey' I'm saving for jury duty in 2 weeks.

I just finished the book - Crichton has these guys figured out to a tee.

I encourage all of you to read it and give copies to your green-leaning friends that haven't been totally converted - this might just save them.

BTW another great book on the topic is "The Skeptical Environmentalist" by Bjorn Lomborg - this one is strictly nonfiction written by an environmentalist with scruples.
