Aliens Cause Global Warming

Via Clarke Ching

In early 2003 Michael Crichton gave a fascinating Caltech Michelin Lecture titled  Aliens Cause Global Warming.

He argued that a lot of today’s science is bad science and that bad science is often used to back up good policies.

I've been listening to a number of Pop!Tech speakers via IT Conversations and many of the assertions made by the speakers bothered me, but I couldn't figure out why. This lecture helped me understand some of what was bothering me.

I also liked this lecture a lot - it's a clear, honest, Feynmanian approach to science.
