Michael Crichton's State of Fear

I spent a hundred minutes on the phone with my daughter in the evening which must be my longest ever phone call to her. She reckons I am wasting my time trying to wheedle out the facts behind global warming.

I first did some work on this at the end of 2004 with a view to giving Fourth World Review a review of Michael Crichton’s State of Fear. However Crichton’s line about the falsification of the environmentalists’ case...and the convincing evidence he brought to bear in support of his view...meant that I needed to do more delving before publishing a controversial review.

I also hoped that a colleague would read State of Fear and give me some moral support but that has not yet happened.

Anyway to cut a long story short I am now convinced that my work got lost in one of my dongle and computer collapses so I have been recreating everything from an old draft in hard copy and some scribbled notes.
