This may or may not be a problem, but it is far from the most serious problem. “If you just look at the science, I, at least, am underwhelmed. In a 2006 New Republic interview, he articulated the twin credos of global warming denial and delay: Sadly, Crichton chose to use his fame to smear the work of countless scientists who are trying to predict and prevent the unintended consequences of humanity’s dangerous experiment with unrestricted emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. With no evidence whatsoever, he claims, that in climate science, “open and frank discussion of the data, and of the issues, is being suppressed.” The mistake-riddled book (see below) contains a gratuitous Appendix titled “Why Politicized Science Is Dangerous,” where Crichton draws a direct and lengthy analogy between climate science and eugenics and Soviet biology under Lysenko, where all dissent to the party line was crushed and some Soviet geneticists were executed. Although the story is fiction, Michael Crichton writes from a firm foundation of actual research challenging common assumptions about global warming. STATE OF FEAR raises critical questions about the facts we believe in, without question, on the strength of esteemed experts and the media. Although a work of fiction, the book had a clear political agenda, as evidenced by Crichton’s Decempress release: In 2004, he published State of Fear, a deeply flawed novel that attacks climate science and climate scientists. Then he used his fame in the most destructive way possible - to cast doubt on the overwhelming scientific understanding of global warming, to urge people not to take action against the gravest preventable threat to the health and well-being of future generations. He became famous as a pulse-pounding writer who helped create the techno-thriller genre with best-sellers (and hit movies) like Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain. Famed global warming denier and science-fiction author, Michael Crichton, has died in Los Angeles.
