I couldn't help but wonder, while I was reading this dribble, who paid Crichton off? To insist most emphatically that there is no such thing as global warming occurring during these times is just fooilsh. He either has some peculiar motivation for writing this book, or he has had his head buried in the sand. The tragedy is, thousands probably actually believe him. Try living through a few of the recent hurricanes if you don't believe me. And then check the data for hurricane predictions for the next seven years. That global warming is a fact is no fallacy.
