Crichton understood the hubris of many scientists, as well as the notion that the germ of wisdom is the acknowledgement of how much one does not know. 500 years ago, the prevailing thought of the day was that the earth was not only the center of the universe, but was flat as well...dissenting voices were punished harshly and ostracized. 500 years from now, our leading thinkers, and the conventions of today will be viewed as equally laughable and preposterous.

What was it - 25 yrs. ago the coming “Ice Age” would have been here in 10 yrs. according to all those “in the know”?
“Global Warming” (name changed to “Climate Change” because blizzards, cold snaps and ice storms follow Albert Gore everywhere he goes) will disappear as an “issue” in a few years if the Lord tarries. The issue will have served its purpose.
