<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for A review of the distorted plot and politics in Michael Crichton’s State of Fear]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by calvinm42 http://www.grist.org/article/roberts-fear/ Sun, 20 Jan 2008 04:06:50 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/roberts-fear/1 Chrichton and global warming

He makes a pretty good case.  I checked out the web sites and data he provided and it is pretty much as he said, although he does not mention that some of the researchers and authors hedge their bets a bit by saying the data might be incomplete or the measurements might not be totally accurate.  But then, that is what he says about the global warming proponents, isn't it?  I don't buy him 100%, but I note that your article did not offer any substantive rebuttal, except to criticize his writing.  It seems like an ad hominem (or ad authorem?) attack rather than any substantive criticism of his views you would expect in a Green publuication.  Has anybody taken the time for a factual rebuttal?
