A lecture by Michael Crichton

California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA January 17, 2003

My topic today sounds humorous but unfortunately I am serious. I am going to argue that extraterrestrials lie behind global warming. Or to speak more precisely, I will argue that a belief in extraterrestrials has paved the way, in a progression of steps, to a belief in global warming. Charting this progression of belief will be my task today.

Let me say at once that I have no desire to discourage anyone from believing in either extraterrestrials or global warming. That would be quite impossible to do. Rather, I want to discuss the history of several widely-publicized beliefs and to point to what I consider an emerging crisis in the whole enterprise of science namely the increasingly uneasy relationship between hard science and public policy.

I have a special interest in this because of my own upbringing. I was born in the midst of World War II, and passed my formative years at the height of the Cold War. In school drills, I dutifully crawled under my desk in preparation for a nuclear attack.

It was a time of widespread fear and uncertainty, but even as a child I believed that science represented the best and greatest hope for mankind. Even to a child, the contrast was clear between the world of politics-a world of hate and danger, of irrational beliefs and fears, of mass manipulation and disgraceful blots on human history.

U.S. EPA has proposed a $150 FLATULENCE tax on each cow in the USA because cows' flatulence pollutes and warms up the enivronment.
A farmer with 100 heads of dairy cows would have to pay US15,000 in FLATULENCE tax even if he did not sel any milk.

I may not produce as much as a cow, but I think it is all about quality, not quantity. I should be taxed about 70 dollars a year for my flatulence.

I wish I could bottle it and sell it as a toxic weapon.....

And the reason this topic is relevant here is that the aliens that are amongst us are in fact muslims which in turn explains their apparent desire to annihilate each and every one of us so soon as is possible.

It is all beginning to make sense.
