Unfortunately, Crichton is too convincing in his anti-global warming propaganda piece. The story is great, sure, but this book is just that – a very thinly veiled piece of propaganda for the right wing oil industries and politicians who want us to believe that there’s no such thing as global warming. And he is very, very convincing. My mother says she read that he’s actually receiving kickbacks from oil companies. I can’t even counter the arguments, so I’ll have to read more about it. Crichton is even self-righteous, claiming he wants his readers to decide for themselves and providing a long bibliography. Of course he knows that one in a hundred people will actually look anything from that list up, so he can be confident that his book is doing its job. As for the story, it boils down to a global conspiracy by militant environmentalists to actually create natural disasters, deadly ones, to convince the public that global warming is going to horribly change the world in the near future. The lawyer who is the main character ends up in many life-or-death situations struggling to find out the secret and save lives by stopping many of these disasters (a huge glacier breaking from an ice sheet, a flash flood that would kill school children on a picnic, etc.) from happening. I found the book entertaining but overall disturbing in its implications.
