My objection to Chrichton is not in his novel and how he treats the science of global warming within a fictional story. My objection stems from his public appearances in which he purports to be some sort of expert and provides impressive arguments to influence his audience. That he has carefully cherry-picked the evidence he presents in his pseudo role of expert makes him a political creature worthy of scrutiny and criticism.
His childish revenge to criticism speaks volumes about the man, imo. Or as Will said, "In another irony, Crichton appears to have really small balls using the small penis rule."
Personally, I think Host is merely trying to draw ustwo out of hiding.
