Michael Crichton: More from Art Raiche

Michael Crichton died earlier this month aged justed 66 years.   Like me, Art Raiche is a fan of the author and climate sceptic and sent me this note:

“As most of you know, Robyn Williams who runs the science show on the ABC [in Australia] is a committed warmer.  So, I was surprising to hear him do a show on Michael Crichton, albeit a funny and insightful talk on science and the media.  He did admit that Crichton was a sceptic, quite a revelation for those of you who know Williams.  The url below will give you access to a funny and thought-provoking talk. 

I had not previously heard Crichton speak.  The humorous and sceptical intelligence of the man is just terrific.

These are parts 1-3 of Crichton on global warming,

I have saved the best for last:  States of Fear – complexity.  These are vintage Crichton, really worth the investment of an afternoon
