Man, he really presented this talk just last September? Is he really that ignorant? "second hand smoke causes no harm" ... wow, all those medical researchers are practicing the religion of environmentalism. It's not even an environmental issue, it's a public health issue, can't he even properly classify the stuff he's plagiarizing from junkscience.com?
And gosh, just who recently has publicly stated that the supposed anomalies between satellite and and ground-based temperature datasets have now been reconciled, and um um um guess what those missing higher temperatures in the higher troposphere aren't missing after all? And that he's satisfied with the predictative behavior of the most recent climate models? John Christy, and if you don't know the name then you're not fit to step on the playing field.
Crichton's either a fool or dishonest, you can take your pick.
