I don't think you can dismiss what Crichton says, because some of its true...neither can you dismiss what IPCC says, but niether give you the complete truth, it somewhere in between....

Well, for one; Chrichton has geared his career more around making money by writing fiction, while Suzuki has devoted his life to science. Not that Suzuki doesn't make a decent living, but he sacrifices more and is far more specialized in his career concerning the topic at hand. That gives him a tad more clout imho. If the topic was about writing ficticious novels or making hollywood movies, then I would take Chrichton over Suzuki by a mile.
