Frightful Crichton's Comeuppance

You may already have heard about novelist Michael Crichtonโ€™s ill-advised foray into what he believes is serious scientific prediction, but sometimes this kind of silliness is worth revisiting. Crichtonโ€™s latest novel, a highly fictional account of the current climate change debate, is called State of Fear. Though neither as readable nor as believable as Jurassic Park, this volume has won Crichton a surprising amount of time on the lecture circuit, where he has been peddling his imagined expertise in climateย science.

The best counterpoints have come โ€“ consistently, thoughtfully, reliably and even humorously โ€“ from www.realclimate.org. But this post is particularly fun, and it includes a brief but useful description of scientific method. Would that Crichton would readย it.
