Phydeaux -> The State of Fear (9/16/2013 10:27:49 AM)

“State of Fear” written by Michael Crichton. An interesting look into the science/religion of global warming. From the wiki: The science behind global warming is speculative and incomplete, meaning no concrete conclusions can be drawn regarding human involvement in climate change. Elites in various fields use either real or artificial crises to maintain the existing social order, misusing the "science" behind global warming. As a result of potential conflicts of interest, the scientists conducting research on topics related to global warming may subtly change their findings to bring them in line with their funding sources. Since climatology does not incorporate double-blind studies, as are routine in other sciences, and climate scientists set experiment parameters, perform experiments within the parameters they have set, and analyze the resulting data, a phenomenon known as "bias," is offered as the most benign reason for climate science being so inaccurate. A key concept, delivered from the eccentric Professor Hoffman, suggests, in Hoffman's words, the existence of a "politico-legal-media" complex, comparable to the "military industrial complex," of the Cold War era. Hoffman insists climate science began using more extreme, fear-inducing terms such as "crisis," "catastrophe," and, "disaster," shortly after the fall of The Berlin Wall, in order to maintain a level of fear in citizens, for the purpose of social control, since the specter of Soviet Communism was gone. This "state of fear" gives the book its title
