Arrgggg. I wish I knew how the archieves of this list work or are their archieves? I wrote about this book when it first came out and I don't have the exact language on what he did in the book now cause the book isn't here.

He writes in the front of the book that he isn't pushing his own theories and then he proceeds to push his theories. He's made speeches in front of Congress and written half a dozen articles about global warming. It all kind of boils down to "Aliens Cause Global Warming." (one of his papers) He thinks and talks about all the science involved is all "touched" before it gets out (bent to say what he thinks other people want it to say).

In the books he uses tons of references which lend authenticity to his feels but uses no references that would contradict his theories.

This is the only work of fiction I have ever seen that is liberally sprinkled with footnotes to back up a supposed work of fiction.

<<I read the book and it is about promoting an agenda all the while he keeps

saying he doesn't have an agenda. Blantantly not true!>>

And the agenda is?
