How Much Greenhouse Carbon is Emitted by Burning Heretics at the Stake?

A tip of the toque to non-blogging buddy Lurch, who sent me a link to this speech by Michael Crichton. In it, Crichton takes to task the "consensus" argument that is used so widely to justify Global Warming alarmism. It's chilling stuff (pun intended), but a must read. The money quote, in my opinion:

Of course, any scientist can be charged as Galileo was charged. I just never thought I'd see the Scientific American in the role of mother church.

Indeed. But that really is what we're coming to.
