You got that right, Russ. And it wasn't just Crichton, either. He also ducked Bjorn Lomborg and Lord Monckton and only agreed to do interviews when he knew the questions in advance.
Les, only 2 of the 70-something IPCC climate models accurately predicted the warming. Can you name me one other human endeavor that would have been able to sustain itself with a prognostication percentage that sorrowful?
And the ironic part, dmarks, is that 80-90% of the skeptics (myself included) actually DO believe in anthropogenic global warming and the entire thing centers around degree. Yes, when you put additional CO2 into the atmosphere, you will get SOME warming, but it's not going to be a lot and it certainly isn't going to be enough to melt the Arctic ice cap and put 80% of Florida under water.

Yes indeed. In both camps. However valid science gets the nod, as it well should.

Jeane Dixon and preachers who dwell on Revelation?
Piss poor record, and no more based in faith, dogma, and superstition.
