Todays anti environmental LTTE-OMG what an idiot!!!
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 08:27 AM by acmejack
Michael Crichton's facts

It is time to debunk some of the tree-huggers' rhetoric regarding global warming. There is no conclusive scientific proof that there is any danger from global warming, if it is indeed occurring. There is a host of scientific evidence that the Earth has been warming and cooling for millions of years, and this was before the use of fossil fuels.

This Chicken Little mentality comes from too many do-gooders who lack evidence. I would refer these folks to Michael Crichton's latest novel, "State of Fear," for good arguments and scientific references refuting the nonsense of the environmental movement. Admittedly, some of the story is theatrics, but the scientific notations and references are not.

For example, readers learn that the Antarctic continent, which contains 90 percent of the world's ice, has actually cooled since 1976. So, what about the ice sheets that are supposedly melting and will be causing coastal flooding?

Remember that these environmental organizations have an agenda, not the least of which is to collect funds to pay lawyers, contribute to political campaigns and, no doubt, to pay some very nice salaries.

On edit: Is this guy an idiot or what? I am busily formulating a fact based response.

1. Why, of course, I should take the word of a novelist over any accredited
scientist! Here, I always thought Michael Crichton wrote fiction!

2. I love how so many people use "Do gooders" as a
pejorative term - as if doing good is something to be ashamed of! Geez...

3. Oh yeah, environmentalists are making money hands over fist.
All the work I do with my environmental degree is free because the jobs with benefits are limited.
