The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming’


This issue may have already drooped dead in the water given the present world economic concerns and "bail outs", but on January 25, 2005, Michael Crichton - author of Jurassic Park et al - gave a major address to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. regarding his criticisms of the so called "global warming" scenarios. If you need a bio on him, might I suggest, on line, this.

"He reviews why claims for catastrophic warming arouse doubt; why reduced CO2 is vastly more difficult than we are being told; and why we are morally unjustified to spend vast sums on this speculative issue when around the world people are dying of starvation and disease."

This is not a short read, but it's not a book either. If the issue is of interest to you from either the "right" or the "left", then it will provide you with a great deal of "food for the thought". (Spinach any one?).
