State of Fear
by Michael Crichton
I used to think global warming was a real crisis; that people were harming the environment and something should be done to stop the damage.
Michael Crichton says that global warming is perpetuated by inadequate data; that research is conducted by bureaucrats, lawyers, and scientists funded by bureaucrats. In short, we don't have all the facts.
Peter Evans is a young lawyer; he is set in his ideas, he knows exactly what he believes in and has never really needed to defend his point of view. That is until his client, philanthropist and environmental activist George Morton, dies and it is revealed that everything was not as seemed with the foundation Morton was funding. Said foundation was preparing a massive lawsuit against the United States claiming that "since it was the largest economy and the largest emitter of carbon dioxide and
therefore largest contributor to global warming" it would be held responsible for the rising sea levels that were flooding native people out of their homes on the island nation of Vanutu. George Morton was giving more than eight million dollars to fund the lawsuit.
However, as events unfold it's found that a group of eco-terrorists are creating "natural" disasters in order to
make it seem as though global warming is a huge catastrophe and immediate action is necessary. In fact it's
found that the sea levels around Vanutu have not risen at all.
The conclusion I reached at the end of this book is that, humans are not significant enough to impact our
planet so much that the entire climate can change. The Earth is going through a phase, a phase it entered
around 1850 after the Little Ice Age. In fact, the Earth is in a constant state of change and phases and
this is simply a preclude to another cooling in a few thousand years. In short, global warming is not a crisis, it
is not even caused or affected by humans in the magnitude that we have been led to believe.
What is your opinion? Is global warming simply a phase the Earth is going through or is it something more serious?
