That article didn't 'debunk' the whole book. It attacked three, obviously weaker, items out of the whole. Read the book, it has a good story too. Also, just to add to the above: Michael Crowley, The New Republic editor, debunked some more of Crichton's junk science. After that, Crichton wrote him in his book, Next, as the rapist of a two year old. Linky I had to pay money if I wanted to read Crowley's article, but the fact that he put him in his book Next doesn't really mean anything but he doesn't like hte guy. As for the excuse of cycles, actually do take a look at An Inconvenient Truth. Gore has this chart that goes back 1,500 years of actual peer-reviewed science data that shows temperature levels over the past 1,500 years. He shows us the last warming period: and it looks nothing like the massive warming period we're experiencing now. That was neat-o. The recommended CO2 PP ingestion number for a healthy person is no more than 400ppm. If the number raises as high as Al Gore's boys suggest (500ppm and over), we will all be dead anyways. It's all well and good to cut emissions, but to cut enough to reduce the CO2 levels by 200ppm, and then more in the coming years, would likely kill society. If it goes that high, we are dead whether when cut, or dead if when we don't. What did the inconvenient truth video suggest we do about it? 1. There's a larger book that debunks the entire "State of Fear" 2. CO2? Humans don't ingest CO2...We release it. Not sure though; I'm not a medical doctor, and unlike some conservatives that will claim they're climate experts, I won't claim that I am. 3. If by 'it' you mean the dangerous CO2 levels, there's a lot of solutions, but the general idea is to reduce CO2 levels. Check the ClimateCrisis website for specific suggestions, including a calculator that helps you suggest how much CO2 you're pumping into the atmosphere (artifically, of course), and how to make yourself carbon-neutral (you don't necessarily have to, as that might be above the normal expense, but there are a lot of expense-saving tips there too, and relatively hceap suggestions to reduce your CO2 emission levels). Gore is awesome.
