Here is an hour long clip of crazy ass Michael Crichton on the Charlie Rose Show and his many books deriding science. People just can’t seem to get enough of his stuff. Think what you want about Crichton, but remember he is in the business of selling books, and not necessarily telling the truth. I agree with some of the things he talks about, but disagree very much with some other things he says. Make sure you check out the 22nd minute when he starts talking about global warming…

This is a guy who knows a bit of science and has used it to good effect in his books – to sell them. This is also a guy who, for whatever reason, really does not WANT to believe that we are having a major impact on the climate. Note the emphasis – not “he does not believe”, he does not WANT to believe. He looked foolish and out of his depth in this interview, and Charlie Rose should be proud of himself for being objective and doing what a serious journalist does – tries to get at the truth. And he got it.
I felt the same way. To quote an American phrase Charlie “took him to the wood shed” a couple of times.
