Is truth stranger than fiction?
Crichton testifies before Congress
Posted by Ana Unruh Cohen (Guest Contributor) at 7:53 AM on 29 Sep 2005
Not always. And definitely not yesterday at the Senate Environment and Public Works committee hearing on the role of science in environmental policy making.
Such an important topic demands the opinions of distinguished scientists and policy makers, right? Wrong. Headlining the hearing was none other than science fiction author Michael Crichton, whose latest book, State of Fear, takes on the science of global warming and the evil environmentalists behind it. (Read Dave's review here.)
I couldn't face watching it, but the brave scientists at Realclimate.org did. Their summary is worth a read.
