Deconstructing Crichton
I am not a scientist. I am a fan of fiction. I sometimes read Michael Crichton, but tend to find him way too Hollywood for me. So it seems is his new book "State of Fear" that basically says global warming is not a problem. Thankfully there are thoughtful people: RealClimate � Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion L’�tat de confusion de Michael Crichton who have deconstructed the book. I am quite frustrated when popular media treats science in such a lighthanded way. The real problem is that most people reading Crichton for entertainment won't bother to think past the bad science in the book and will take the conclusion as "science". I am not going to bother with the book.

Crichton rocked right up till Jurassic Park the movie. Anything after that is airport fodder for losers.
