It's supposed to be this interview with Osama Bin Laden regarding global warming. The writer almost had me going for a while (seriously) but then it got pretty ridiculous. Anyways, the bit had hardly any science in it at all, but I found it extremely interesting how the writer took everything he disagreed with and made it come out of Bin Laden's mouth. He made the man that all of America recognizes as irrationally evil and made him claim that Global Warming is true and it's the U.S.'s fault.
I find it incredibly interesting that in the middle of this Global Warming War we loose any dignity or science at all and turn it into something this absurd. The article is obviously a joke, but the strategy used is very real. If Bin Laden believes it of course I'm gonna disagree, and he's blaming America on top of it?! Well, clearly he's wrong. Global Warming can't be real. Crichton does the same in his book. He makes these huge evil corporations be the advocators of Global Warming.
When raw science (or even made up science) has become boring and no one really cares about it (or believes it) we take a new approach. I guess people are just cool with believing these crazy stories now. These authors are just manipulating audiences and changing their perspectives. There is a truth there somewhere, we are just showing it through a different, and maybe distorted, view. It's like when you have completely different seeing devices saying different things for the same experiment.
Honestly though, everyone's doing it. Yeah maybe this dude online thought it was a funny article but really...audience perspective? Crichton did it, Al Gore did it, Copenhagen did it, Congress is doing it, and we do it when we put up a post. Why wouldn't we? Who would want to diminish their argument with a perspective that is fully un-biased?
