There is no end to what people will do to discredit environmentalism or to distract people from the polluters. This new book is evidence of that.

Just a question. Do you have any credible statistics that can verify that pollution intentionally caused the early termination of over 40 million fetuses in the last 32 years?
 
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. One should not look to a work of fiction for scientific fact. This year we also learned that national network news is also unreliable. Still a lot of the basis premise in the book is self-evident to anyone with a memory. Growing up, I remember the fear that we might enter a new ice age “according to scientist.”

Now it is a global warming problem. I would like to think that most reasoning adults understand that when any group hypes and sensationlizes a problem it is because of lack of substance.

One Aggie thumb up for Critchton!
 
I do like a good book with suspense and I am sure I will like his new book. However, I will think of it as fiction. I like to read his books.
