George Will's Hot Air

George Will's latest Washinton Post Column is a profound scientific argument against global warming. Science having failed, he finds confirmation of his theory in Science Fiction, to wit, in Michael Crichton's State of Fear. Crichton is a pretty good SF writer, and he knows more science than most, but his work is fiction. Never mind, he does include some tables and stuff, and really does seem to disbelieve in the reality, or at any rate the threat, of global warming. I have no idea whether that is a deeply held philosophical position, or just an author's recognition that he can't make global warming as sexy a threat as cloned dinosaurs. In any case, to take his argument seriously is absurd.

Come to think of it though, political theater of the absurd is George Will's specialty. That and lame meditations on baseball.
