  This is old, but I hadnt seen it until today. From the late Michael Crichton, a 2003 speech titled Aliens Cause Global Warming : Lets think back to people in 1900 in, say, New York.

  Behind Blue Lines — Authority: 116
  We’ve observed on several occasions that modern environmentalism is more akin to religion – a cult, really – than science. Many others have done the same, including Michael Crichton in his now-famous Commonwealth Club speech in 2003.While Crichton analogized environmentalism to the Genesis creation story of ...

  With the Climategate revelations , momentum is definitely building against the credibility of the climate doomsday mongering, but will it be enough to derail the juggernaut for global warming statism?

  Big Government — Authority: 816
  The alarmists’ reaction to CEI’s Notice of Intent to Sue NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) for withholding data–now for nigh on two years–has been particularly shrill, as regards my inquiry into the clearance and other deliberations over the non-official activities for the nasty, deceptive, ...

• Article Title Unknown

  
  A Large Regular — Authority: 471
  State of Fear It occurred to me that with the facts behind Climategate now coming to light - if Michael Crichtons book State of Fear was made into a movie - it could now pass the Hollywood smell test of "based upon a true story." It is too bad that Crichton died before seeing that in many ways he was right about ...

  Lazy Habits of Thinking — Authority: 100
  “ Pirate Latitudes ” reminds you more of “Eaters of the Dead” or “Timeline” (minus the time travel aspect) than Michael Crichton ’s more famous books like Jurassic Park, Prey. And, like many historical novels starring pirates, it is a bit cheesy in pieces. Port Royal, the lonesome British ...
