Thats the thing, he didn't when he started researching for his book.
Also, scientists have been known to skew the facts to suit their grants or personal beliefs.
Maybe Shell is paying Crichton under the table and it is all lies, I don't know for sure.
I personally don't know if CO2 levels are causing the rise in temperature. And I admit I am not willing to spend the time necessasary to become an expert.
From what I can tell it is something that is not fully understood by either side and more research and study needs to be done.
The comments are pushed all the way to the left, overlapping the the left column(Sections, user info, etc) So it is hard to read the first few comments.

You mean I look up someone who firmly believes the earth is warming due to CO2 levels, and he rebuts all the claims?? Shocking?
But his book was based on facts.
If you read what he has said about his book, he was surprised to find the lack of evidence for global warming.
And that there are many scientists who do not believe in global warming.
That more research is needed that is not affected by political goals(corporate or envirnomental).
Your nuke argument is useless as nobody denied the nukes existed or were a threat.
"Besides, the consensus view states that there would be a 2-6 deg increase in global average temperture, not "that the world will end"."
Just like they said in the 70s which has proven to be false.
There is evidence for global warming and there is evidence against global warming, and each side picks and choses their data.
Don't you have to tell svn(or is it cvs?) that it is a binary file?
I know cvs had a crappy algorithm for binary files but svn was suppossed to fix that.
You are complaining that the maps only work in the US?
Golly, thats shocking considering it a US company and it's in beta.
And yes I have traveled outside the US.
An ant, a red ant would work just fine.
You are making little sense, I far as I could tell it worked well in Fl, Tenn, Ky, Il .
What exactly are you complaining about?
It worked exactly the way I expected.
So I guess I am idiotic.
I did though it was fileplanet, firefox doesn't work with fileplanet it seems :-(
But it did download and pretty fast: 1.86 Mbps
So no complaints.
I get through about 50 MB and this it quits.
Just a warning as I may be doing something wrong.
Have fun is it?
Seems to be a 800MB download so I hope it is worth it.
I thought linking with GPL libraries was fine.
Quite a unique game eh?
Go to my store and bet on the new england/philly game.
I need meat!
Search for cheap blue pixels and Lookie the Bookie!
You are mean and bitter person.
Yes, you are right. Everyone who uses MS is a sheep.
They are stupid, blind, pig-headed, and believe all the adverts for MS.
Thank you for clearing that up.
But how Russians died from Russian hands?
The best teachers don't always make the best principles and vice-versa.
Same goes with managers and workers.
Surround yourself with people who are better/smarter than you,
and let them do their thing.
But do they want to learn?
I use cash for my purchases.
Except, auto-drafts and internet purchases.
Hmm.. maybe I am not that paranoid after all.
I am guessing when they say baseball they mean MLB.
Backyard baseball has nothing to worry about.
Oops missed 2nd question.
When reading the comments for an article.
The comments are pushed all the way to the left, overlapping the the left column(Sections, user info, etc)
So it is hard to read the first few comments.
Nope, it happens on linux.
I will say firefox is being run on a linux box, thrown to my solaris box.
And is probably not the most recent version of firefox but close.
That was 20 years ago!
Tis true, sometimes firefox does not render /. correctly.
At least on my firefox.
1. Anyone can save, I don;t care if you make 5 dollars a day.
2. As you get older you don't invest in aggresive funds.
3. It's not thathard to have a million when you are 65 if you start early.(ask the housekeeper in New Orleans about that)
Your #3 sounds like hogwash.
