Michael Chrichton recently published a book flying in the face of the scientific community - saying that global warming was all hot air (PUN!). Well, aparently, the american association of petroleum geologists really loved that sh#t so they gave him an award... a ... journalism award... for a fiction novel. But lets forget their vested interest and how silly such an award is. Lets hear from SCIENCE! When the book was published in 2004, climate experts condemned it as dangerously divorced from reality."demonstrably garbage," Stephen H. Schneider, a Stanford climatologist. Daniel P. Schrag, a geochemist who directs the Harvard University Center for the Environment, called the award "a total embarrassment" that he said "reflects the politics of the oil industry and a lack of professionalism"link login for NewYorkTimes.com - cypher:cypher |
