While Planet Gore now has the market cornered on entertaining global warming disinformation, Michael Crichton perfected it. For those last two or three people who still think the technothriller writer has his facts straight, check out reasic’s terrific post on Crichton’s inane 2003 talk, "Aliens Cause Global Warming."
Yes, Crichton, a real medical doctor, actually said:
Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we’re asked to believe a prediction that goes out 100 years into the future? And make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everybody lost their minds?
Wow! Not knowing the difference between weather and climate is like not knowing the difference between a general practitioner and an epidemiologist. I don’t know what’s worse — the possibility that Crichton is just spouting standard denier crap he knows is crap, or the possibility he actually believes what he is saying.
Kudos to Coby Beck for pointing this post out.
