Michael Crichton on Global Warming
From my Inbox:
Michael Crichton on Global WarmingMichael Crichton was one of the most popular American writers of our day. Well known for his book, Jurassic Park, and for the television series he wrote and produced, ER, he was also a director, screenwriter and graduate of the Harvard School of Medicine.
Michael Crichton is also a critic of the science of global warming. Being educated as a scientist himself, he has studied the United Nation's report of Global Climate Change, and the studies upon which that report was written.
Among his criticisms:
1: The computer models that "prove" man-made global warming were based upon "guesses" that could not be proved;
2: Global warming scientists began with their conclusions, and then sought data to prove them, ignoring important evidence to the contrary;
3: Global warming is a religion that has taken it advocates far outside of the realms of science, therefore, they are no longer qualified to make arguments on environmental science.
For example, did you know that Europe was nearly one degree warmer in the 1750s and the 1830s, than it is today? Since the industrial revolution did not begin until after the 1750s, and was only scarcely underway in Britain and just beginning in the United States during the 1830s, and still had not begun in Europe or the rest of the world, how can industrialization account for it being warmer before industrialization existed? And if the planet is a one degree cooler today than it was before industrialization, is there global warming, or is this just another of nature's cycles that have been going warm and cool since the birth of the planet?
Michael Crichton died on November 4, 2008 -oddly enough, the day Barack Obama was elected President. Here are three speeches Crichton made regarding global warming. They provide plenty of facts without over-weighting the argument. These speeches are nearly perfect in that they provide those of us who doubt the science of global warming with the weapons and information necessary to defend ourselves in a PC Global Warming Religious World. Enjoy.

And this is a great site for keeping up with the actual "science" and politics of global warming:
