For a long time, I was a global warming skeptic.
I blame it entirely on Michael Crichton, when he forced me to read 'State of Fear' by being one of my favorite authors (The Terminal Man, The Andromeda Strain, Eaters of the Dead, Sphere, The Great Train Robbery, Jurassic Park, The Lost World, The 13th Warrior, and Timeline, for chrissake). Honestly, I should've seen it coming with 'Prey'. He was losing his touch.
State of Fear is essentially an anti-global-warming-opus, and it turns out to be based upon some, *ahem*, flawed information.
Do yourself a favor. Reserve ten minutes to watch this film. Agree or not (as I disagreed once), give it an honest listen, and then share it. Really.
An idea, if powerful enough, will be heard despite all attempts to prevent it from being heard. A feeling, if strong enough, will be felt despite all that reason and logic would do to stop it. That, in the realm of mind and of heart, is true justice.
