Great book by a great author. Very interesting how he debunks the global warming myth/hysteria before morons like Al Gore came out with shameless propoganda like "An Inconvenient Truth". Also, sheds light on what these crazy environmentalists could actually be cooking up. A couple days before I wrote this review, an environmentalist group was caught setting fire to several houses on a "Street of Dreams". Very hypocritical and crazy these people are!
I purchased this book 2 years ago and read it then. However, I had lost it while following up on the Internet-related data referenced in the book, as well as tracking down some of the research papers cited. This second purchase of the book was two-fold: 1) to continue my own research, and 2) it's just a darn good read whether you believe the subject matter or not. Michael Crichton is a master of the techno-thriller, and this romp is no exception. A lawyer, who's largest client is a wealthy philanthropist who supports environmental awareness groups, is confronted by with data that completely spits in the eye of the "conventional" wisdom of the environmental groups. When his client disappears, Peter Evans (the lawyer) travels to various locations around the world where environmental terrorists are looking to cause global catastrophes simply to make Global Warming more believable. This quick-paced page turner will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat from the opening lines.Read full review
I never gave a diffetent angle to global warming. MC has ventured into unexplored territory and had managed to come up with irrefutable references that point towards biased observations about this whole phenomenon. A hint ... keep your mind open when reading this book.
