What is more disturbing, according to Andr\u00e9 Lebeau, is when the author who sets out to challenge the phenomenon is a writer of bestsellers, and therefore benefits from a very large audience including many who do not necessarily have the scientific knowledge needed to separate the wheat from the chaff.\nAlas, there is little wheat in this book, says Andr\u00e9 Lebeau. The pseudo-scientific demonstrations of the knight on the white charger battling the environmental extremists are extremely poor. Andr\u00e9 Lebeau points a few of the many errors that pepper the text and warns potential readers that the book should be read as pure fiction (if at all).<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Is global warming a myth?&#8221; So begins the blurb for the French translation of Michael Crichton&#8217;s State of Fear (New York: Avon Books, 2004), recently published by Robert Laffont.
