Eerie seeing how right Michael Crichton was as people 10 year later would move even further away from verifiable data when talking about scientific points. Michael Crichton was a very insightful man, and much like the rest of the all time great science fiction writers, has a haunting ability to predict the direction of humanity and society.

It feels very validating to have Michael Critchen share my views on the global warming debate and on the direction of modern science. It’s a very unpopular position and I think he hit the nail on the head as to why.

he was wrong on that issue (not it's not dire or catastrophic), and had he lived, i think he would've come around

A brilliant and wonderful man and a wonderful bright interviewer. I meaningful interview of the like we need more in societies.

[@RamonThomas]

"Nobody can predict the future." is something a real scientist and logical thinker says. Charlie Rose shows so much bias and ignorance arguing for consensus science. Michael Crichton demonstrates pure genius in his response to the stupid questions about global warming. He must have been the only person to say Al Gore is wrong!

[@mapesdhs597]

Michael's points very much foreshadowed the emergence of such dreadful attitudes as, for example, New Scientist suggesting that perhaps those who don't agree with the global warming concensus should be medicated (after more than 20 years as a NS print subscriber, I am ending my subscription; the magazine has become incredibly leftist, even communist, eg. not long ago it ran an 8-page pro-immigration special, and was blatantly pro-Hillary during the US election). It's shocking that Charlie could not see the obvious point that whenever a vast amount of state controlled money is going to be available for a particular thing, there will be enormous pressure to promote that thing, regardless of its factual merit, and collosal fraud and lies perpetrated to gain access to that money. Charlie's reactions are surprisingly emotional, identical to the modern mass mindset that everyone must tow the line, or else be publicly shamed (Charlie's approach with his questions was to try and make Michael *feel bad* for not agreeing, rather than actually respond to what Michael was saying). All this hysteria about "climate change" (funny how they don't call it global warming anymore), yet the UN promotes huge population increases in precisely those 3rd world nations that are least able to cope with it (ie. more resource consumption), nations everywhere make use of state borrowing to perpetuate the myth of future pensions (more unfunded resource consumption, literally taking money from those not yet born), at the same time encouraging vast migrations of people from 3rd world to 1st world countries (especially Europe) where their carbon consumption goes up by an order of magnitude. The politicians claim to care, yet they do nothing to prevent the awful increases in violent crime, rapes and abuse that have occured in places such as Europe as a result of these migratory policies (indeed they actively encourage these problems, funded by people like Soros). It's poliical virtue signaling gone mad, largely exploiting the emotion-based voting habits of women to force through disastrous policies. Why on earth should I give a damn about whatever the climate might be doing in a hundred years, when the people in my nation are suffering *right now* from real, everyday events? (terrorism, grooming gangs, etc.) Fact is, the alarmist predictions of the early global warming conferences simply have not come true at all. I remember telling people about them at the time, hey the sea levels are going to be 2m higher within 30 years! The predictions were wrong, but the narrative language has changed, and now political power is behind a giant money machine to ram through all sorts of measures despite totally contradictory policies elsewhere. The UN cares about people? Then why the heck does Saudia Arabia have any influence on the commision for women's rights? It cares about children? Why is it encouraging the spread of a backwards ideological religion with terrible attitudes toward children across Europe? Scandals such as Rotherham, Telford & the murder of Lee Rigby did not have to happen, and certainly nobody voted for the changes which made them possible. I attended a global warming conference about 10 years ago which focused on cloud cover and oceans. At the end of it, the overwhelming concensus was, we just don't know, the various factors involved are so complicated (back then, ocean absorption of CO2, the effect of cloud cover on light reflectance, etc., were unknowns, and these still haven't been resolved). Since then, I have become more aware of the way in which any studies that contradict the concensus are supressed, resuts of studies have been changed, often data is selectively used, data that doesn't fit is excluded, or sometimes outright fabricated. Academics are expected to reaffirm what is already been decided upon. Rock the boat and you lose your research funding. There are lucrative academic careers at stake in all this, numerous research grants, public money thrown about like candy and plenty of people willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on it. I've seen what academics can be like when significant money is potenially available for something, they are addicted to free stuff from the state. One lecturer even said to me, "Can't they just give us the money and then we'll decide what to do with it?". So I'm with MC on this one (unlike my doom-laden vocal opinions of 20 years ago). Is there warming? Yes. Are humans at least partly responsible? Probably. Is it significant compared to eras past? No. So does it really matter? No, certainly not compared to far more immediate problems, which include the potential collapse of western culture amid a demographic flood far more devastating than that from any melting ice cap. We can survive nasty weather events; we cannot surive cultural destruction and religious dogmatic slavery that could last hundreds of years, especially not when our own politicians are celebrating such cultural destruction (as they have done in various nations across western Europe). The modern hysteria about "climate change" has nothing to do with preventing future harm; now it's only about people getting their hands on free stuff, influence, political power, and the aims of globalists and other people & groups who exploit these events. The state of the climate a century hence does not concern me at all so long as there are so many politicians and individuals who would have us go down a path that leads to Venezuela-stlye chaos.

at noon the other day the authorities announced that they would be closing our main highway at 6PM due to snow they predicted would be falling at that time. then a very tall american indian (probably related to MC, they were the same height) walked up to me and looked down and said, “Predicting when the sun will shine, is like predicting the future.” and then he strolled away.

[@Halorym]

"Because I'm a science fiction author, the far out doesn't appeal to me." Crichton understands the willing suspension of disbelief. He's been 'out there' he's not impressed by it until it's real.

[@jakebroz9116]

I've read many Crichton books. The Great Train Robbery and Airframe were very good.

[@Bronco541]

I think, at least to some degree, in my view, Crichton's stance on this matter is proven with the fact that now in 2016, the topic of Global warming has seemingly lost most of it's frenzy that it had back then. Nobody's talking about it anymore, at least not nearly like they were at this time. But the problem hasn't gone away. Global warming hasn't stopped or that is to say; nobody's figured anything out. We're seemingly not immensely wiser then we were then yet the topic lost it's stamina. Why? Like he said; people line up for the catastrophe. People like to talk and bitch about problems. Nobody actually wants to DO anything about it. People just want the end of the world to come.

[@ericjohnson2515]

RIP Michael Crichton. NEXT was the last book published by Michael Crichton before he died in 2008.

[@devinmiller8241]

Now I wish that NEXT was Made into a Film/Movie.... But.... I'm told the problem with NEXT Being Adapted into a film, is the fact, that the Movie about a subject, "Genetic Research." really isn't what people understand or care much for.... and most of the subplots are Dull, and Meandering, and most of the stories Characters are Bland, and uninteresting. Another Problem is that the Story itself, has No Protagonist who Narrates the story. The whole novel, has a broad Narrative that all the things and characters were placed in.... :( and sadly, This Novel NEXT would have to be "Altered." like the Novel won't be adapted into a film anytime soon unless it undergoes a Re-write so much so, that they would have to change the nature of the entire story Unfortunately.
