State of Fear



State of Fear is the lasting offering from Micheal Crickton.

This book addresses a real and controversial scientific issue, global warming.

He used a lot of footnotes, sited many real papers and reports, and imaginary

features (a self-important NGO hyping the science of the global warming,

eco-terrorists... ) in the novel.

He tended to point out that Climate Change is not a problem, but

politicized science is.

The novel has inevitablely raised many discussions on the internet and batween the

scientists in the field of meteorology.

Although it is not my first time learning about this view, I still don't sure

that global warming is true or it is a catastrophe of earth.

I am really convinced by author's insistence, politicized science

is dangerous.

I trust most scientists have the expience of writing a story,not a report.

I mean most of published papers are stories. A story has drama.

Unfortunately, the public are always convinced by those papers, which are

believed being a truth.

I highly recommanded this novel because it will actually teach you something

valuable to know, especially for environmentalists.
