3. A chief denier of global warming |
|
He could tell a good story though.
My sympathies to his family.

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.

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.

15. That's just what I was thinking |
|
He did a lot of damage and I cannot forgive him for that.

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

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. :^)

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.

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.
