To imagine that people imagine they can stabilize the atmosphere is stupid.

Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion
— gavin @ 13 December 2004 - (

)

In a departure from normal practice on this site, this post is a commentary on a piece of out-and-out fiction (unlike most of the other posts which deal with a more subtle kind). Michael Crichton’s new novel “State of Fear” is about a self-important NGO hyping the science of the global warming to further the ends of evil eco-terrorists. The inevitable conclusion of the book is that global warming is a non-problem. A lesson for our times maybe? Unfortunately, I think not.

It's warmed a bit since the book came out in '04. In fact, '05 became the hottest year, breaking the '98 record, and we're up another 0.29 degrees C since then. '98 doesn't even make the list.
