And Michael Chritten (ex.sp) has written that book the name of which escapes me that pooh poohs all the global warming alarmists...

Critten writes out of his politics. Which is fine but should be taken for no more than that. I read him for some time despite my political disagreement both because I liked the pace of his novels and I met him once in Cambridge where he was in grad school with one of my brothers. But the novels just got boring and preachier than I like. However, my latest enjoyable reading was W. E. B. Griffin's latest, The Hostage. His politics are definitely not mine; but he does know now to write something that keeps the pages turning.

I'm looking forward to Elizabeth Korlbut's book, due out sometime this spring on global warming and fossil fuel emissions. I've read excerpts from it in The New Yorker. It's quite persuasive and alarming.
