CHARLIE ROSE - An Appreciation of MICHAEL CRICHTON 

4713Caine its sad that hes gone :-( we need more people like him. today all we ever hear is the mudslinging of left vs right politics few moderate voices - and I am for one sick of it.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

+Illustrious Potentate - you have been an inspiration - allow me to share the introduction - "So, you wanna debate Michael Crichton's fraud?" whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com/2015/11/michael-crichtons-fraud.html"A fella was offended that I dissed Michael Crichton in the comments section of a RU-vid video of his 2008 appearance on the Charlie Rose show. Considering I still hear people using Crichton's science-fiction State of Fear as though it were some serious guide which justifies distrusting and ignoring today's fact based climate science understanding, I find the once quite interesting writer turned himself into a despicable sociopath and I'm not going to let Potentate's criticism go unexamined. I'll back up my opinions with links to many more authoritative and informative articles that dissect and explain his errors. …" Come on down, I promise to post your comments.

So much for the spirit of healthy constructive debate. Shut it down with threats. And like I was trying to explain to you it's about Crichton maliciously lying to people about critically important matters. It kind of poisoned the man's better qualities. Sorry that you don't seem to take AGW seriously, perhaps you also believe warming up our planet is a big joke of no consequence and that we ought to ignore it.

***** Oh and actually if you had read my whole post you'd have seen that I did not leave out any of your words. See 3/4 and 4/4. No need to misrepresent it. whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com/2015/11/michael-crichtons-fraud.html Good day sir, sorry I offended by responding to your claims.

Last year CERN (the multi-billion-dollar Centre for European Nuclear Research) told CERN Courier subscribers that all the climate models must be re-done. CERN reported that its CLOUD experiment had used its huge particle accelerator and a giant cloud chamber to demonstrate that the sun and cosmic rays are the real ‘mystery factors’ in earth’s climate. The research supports the contention that CO2 is only a bit player.” The article in the CERN Courier reveals the thinking of those experimenters on the importance of understanding the role of clouds on climate: “’This is a huge step for atmospheric science,’ says lead-author Ken Carslaw of the University of Leeds, UK. ‘It’s vital that we build climate models on experimental measurements and sound understanding, otherwise we cannot rely on them to predict the future. Eventually, when these processes get implemented in climate models, we will have much more confidence in aerosol effects on climate. Already, results from CLOUD suggest that estimates of high climate sensitivity may have to be revised downwards.’” Very simply, the science advocated by the IPCC, NAS, AGU, etc. does not have an adequate understanding of the role of atmospheric clouds to draw any conclusions, much less the conclusions these organizations have made.
