Now Mr. Suraiya is a well respected columnist but he is not a climate scientist and his lack of science training shows. He opens his argument not by referring to real science contradicting warming but by pointing out that the writer Michael Crichton has written a science fiction book that questions the human influence on global warming. I kid you not!

The Times of India is not exactly the paragon of journalistic excellence let alone scientific accuracy. But still as Suvrat Kher found out, an anti-global warming argument by Jug Suraiya reeks of tabling an opposing viewpoint for the sake of it, is quite appalling. There is always space for a counter view but it is definitely not this one.
