2. oh how sad

he is a great author

[Robbien]

3. A chief denier of global warming

He could tell a good story though.

My sympathies to his family.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. A denier of global warming yes, but a bunch of his books, although

fiction, spoke loudly against HMOs.

Before my reader's block (don't ask), I read all of his books.

RIP Michael.

13. He brought civilty to the discussion of AGW

As a Denier myself I am quite upset about the loss.

4. Not gonna shed many tears for him.

He went off the deep end and made the task of mitigating global warming that much harder. Was a good writer in his early years, though, maybe he will be remembered for that.

10. Yeah, I wasn't pleased with his politics on that at all

But the man entertained me and for that I'm grateful.

[Mabus]

15. That's just what I was thinking

He did a lot of damage and I cannot forgive him for that.

5. I enjoyed his work

Even if he often had an anti-science agenda in his books.

Andromeda Strain is one of my all-time favourite books.

14. Never read

that particular book, but totally loved the original movie.

Despite our differences on Global Climate Change, I can only say RIP.

8. Wow! As a cancer survivor, I'm sorry for him. But he shocked the hell out of me by writing

that bullshit anti-global-warming book, so screw him for that. I'm conflicted. :^)

11. Knock knock.

Who's there?

Not Michael Crichton.

[Ezlivin]

12. It was the "Andromeda Strain" that did him in! It's a vast coverup!!!!

He tried to warn us, but we wouldn't listen.

[Shardik]

16. I enjoyed a lot of his fiction

but not his fiction about Global Warming.

Sorry he died, but I'm also sorry for his ecological opinions.
