CHARLIE ROSE - An Appreciation of MICHAEL CRICHTON
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2013
- Originally aired in November 2008, shortly after the surprising & neglected death of Michael Crichton. Charlie Rose, the great interviewer, and Michael Crichton, the great thinker. Please support public television and great shows like Charlie Rose.
what I really appreciate about crichton is that he's not a political animal. he's willing to examine both sides on an issue and take a stand, and he is willing to change his mind with new information - something so many people simply cannot (or will not) do.
4713Caine its sad that hes gone :-( we need more people like him. today all we ever hear is the mudslinging of left vs right politics few moderate voices - and I am for one sick of it.
One of the best writers of all time
He was such a monumental persona and mind. Someone like him should never leave this world.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

One of the most versatile authors of the last century. He is one reason I started writing.
So many people have been influenced by this man and have no idea. His contributions were not just entertainment but inspired imagination in millions of people. His influence is immeasurable. Great interview. Thank you.
In 6th grade I started with Jurassic Park the very year he died. Thats where it all began. Now I've read The Lost World, Congo, Prey, Timeline, The Andromeda Strain, State of Fear, Eaters of the Dead, and now I'm reading Pirate Latitudes and can't put it down. It still saddens me how he died the year I found him, 2 days before my birthday.
Amazing human being.
RIP Michael Crichton. You will never be forgotten.
thank you for uploading this
Crichton.... a renaissance entertainer who will always matter. R.I.P.
What a great man sadly missed
Such a huge loss. :'(
I loved his work and how humble he was. A great man missed by us all
thank you for posting this ! and thanks Charlie Rose for the lovely memorial broadcast.
Just before Michael Crichton died he was reportedly bitten by large mosquitoes from the Amazon who were later trapped in Amber by scientists. Seriously, RIP Dr. Crichton.
Here is the interview in a nutshell. "I don't know".
A true imaginative literary genius R.I.P. Dr. Creighton
This guy aged very nicely.
RIP Mr.Crichton
1942-2008
Michael Crichton’s physicians expected him to recover from treatment for lymphoma, yet he died. Why? Was he murdered?
.
Frank Herbert and Micheal Crichton are some of the people we need working at the UN. I mean they have some real knowledge and proper philosophical ideas on the world.
Hmmm Cancer huh, Ya maybe! RIP one of the best ever!
I would be so happy if I had all his books :)
Coincidentally 9/22/ was my wedding anniversary...articling year...I think the OJ Simpson trial was making front page news
Michael what scares you..Microbes!
Let's get real - the man was a fiction writer, he used science
fiction to drive his stores and sales - If he has a scientific truth to share he should have written it up. All he had to offer was a bunch of hot air to help the want-to-know-nothings self-justification - oh and sell lots of books.

+Illustrious Potentate - you have been an inspiration - allow me to share the introduction - "So, you wanna debate Michael Crichton's fraud?"
whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com/2015/11/michael-crichtons-fraud.html"A fella was offended that I dissed Michael Crichton in the comments section of a UA-cam video of his 2008 appearance on the Charlie Rose show. Considering I still hear people using Crichton's science-fiction State of Fear as though it were some serious guide which justifies distrusting and ignoring today's fact based climate science understanding, I find the once quite interesting writer turned himself into a despicable sociopath and I'm not going to let Potentate's criticism go unexamined. I'll back up my opinions with links to many more authoritative and informative articles that dissect and explain his errors. …"
Come on down, I promise to post your comments.
So much for the spirit of healthy constructive debate. Shut it down with threats.
And like I was trying to explain to you it's about Crichton maliciously lying to people about critically important matters. It kind of poisoned the man's better qualities.
Sorry that you don't seem to take AGW seriously, perhaps you also believe warming up our planet is a big joke of no consequence and that we ought to ignore it.
***** Oh and actually if you had read my whole post you'd have seen that I did not leave out any of your words. See 3/4 and 4/4. No need to misrepresent it. whatsupwiththatwatts.blogspot.com/2015/11/michael-crichtons-fraud.html
Good day sir, sorry I offended by responding to your claims.
Last year CERN (the multi-billion-dollar Centre for European Nuclear Research) told CERN Courier subscribers that all the climate models must be re-done. CERN reported that its CLOUD experiment had used its huge particle accelerator and a giant cloud chamber to demonstrate that the sun and cosmic rays are the real ‘mystery factors’ in earth’s climate. The research supports the contention that CO2 is only a bit player.”
The article in the CERN Courier reveals the thinking of those experimenters on the importance of understanding the role of clouds on climate:
“’This is a huge step for atmospheric science,’ says lead-author Ken Carslaw of the University of Leeds, UK. ‘It’s vital that we build climate models on experimental measurements and sound understanding, otherwise we cannot rely on them to predict the future. Eventually, when these processes get implemented in climate models, we will have much more confidence in aerosol effects on climate. Already, results from CLOUD suggest that estimates of high climate sensitivity may have to be revised downwards.’”
Very simply, the science advocated by the IPCC, NAS, AGU, etc. does not have an adequate understanding of the role of atmospheric clouds to draw any conclusions, much less the conclusions these organizations have made. See links under Challenging the Orthodoxy.
