[Terrapreta] Critical thinking or lack thereof

[Richard Haard]

Do we really need to marginalize contemporary scientific thinking with  
Cricthton's scientific cherry picking of information that includes  
global warming is a non issue?  As a counterpoint it is worthwhile to  
look at this 12/13/2004 review of his fiction work and it's  
'scientific underpinnings'. Especially interesting since he  
interviewed Gavin, this writer , during his preparation for the book.
