I read the book. It was released when I was in the middle of preparing for a GW debate for grad school. I thought it would be a good source for anti-Global Warming arguments, but it turned out to be what I already said. It's an incredibly childish attempt. I can respect actual anti-scientists. But he just parroted talking points and distortions.

I was a big fan of Crichton up unti that point. As far as I know, I have every book he published up to State of Fear.
But that's always been his schtick. Take an aspect of the sciences, demonize it, find the worst application possible and run screaming.
