you have facts to back this up i presume?

to the best of my recollection, he met with mr. bush as have many authors and he and GWB shared similar views and discussion on the subject. i don't take that to be an "advisory panel"

the book was less about the existence or non-existence of global warming as much as it was about the lengths to which advocates and activists might go to further their agenda. it was also a novel.

the transcript of a speech he gave to the National Press Club in Jan 2005 on the subject is on his site at the following link in it's entirety. It is quite fascinating reading if you are capable of putting aside your preconceived notions and beliefs.
