We can't talk about the weather anymore
...it's becoming too politically touchy of subject.
I came across this article today: Scientist decries moral audacity of environmentalists linking tsunami and global warming
My favorite paragraph:
In his new book, State of Fear, Michael Crichton repeatedly demonstrates that global warming ambulance-chasers often assume things to be true that simply are not. The book centers around a lawsuit by pacific islanders because of sea level rise; their case falls apart when the facts disclose that sea levels were actually falling in the region in question. Life imitates fiction. Michael Crichton should sue environmentalists who blame the massive death toll from the Indian Ocean's tragic tsunamis on sea level rise for plagiarism."
BTW: I'm midway through the book. It's pretty good. But, then again, I like Critchon's writing. I even enjoy the bad ones.
