Michael Crichton really dug down deep into the issue of global warming when he decided to write the book state of fear. He has several pages of acknowlegdements and also of references used in the book. He even compiled graphs using the data from scientists around the globe. He did not just listen to the scientists conclusion he looked at the data and made his own conclusions like any well educated man should.
As I read through his exciting tale of a well known organizations supporting eco-terrorists all in the name to send a message and the few good guys trying to stop them I picked up a farely decent amount of knowledge. I learned about ideas that I could have never have fathomed on my own. Like the urban heating effect an idea that seems so simple but I would never have thought of it, let alone try to make calculations on how this should change our temperature readings.
Love how this information was summed up in a book that was so interesting to read... I actually learned information about global warming and the side that usually does not get broadcast in the news or that many magazines because with it it holds a stigma of those that don't believe in global warming don't care about the environment. That really cannot be further from the truth just because I do not believe in the death penalty does not mean I don't believe criminals shouldn't get punished.
I have learned a lot about what I think about the issue of global warming and the main thing I learned is I don't know enough about it to preach to anyone my opinions on it and that other people do not know enough either and that further research is very necessary to completely understand this issue.
