Re: Irritatingly ignorant and counterproductive |
You refer to "his" interview on CNN. I'm not sure which person you were referring to -- Jim Berkland or Simon Winchester. Both are geologists. In the case of Jim Berkland,his interview came across as grandstanding and self-promotion, IMO. In the case of Simon Winchester, one could say that he was promoting his books. However, having read several of his books, I don't think that was the case. I think he genuinely believes in this theory -- the butterfly effect - and was interviewed because of popular appeal (several bestsellers). He is spreading the word as he believes it to be. That is my opinion and my personal observation only. Barbara Follow Ups: ● john62 - John Vidale 12:34:59 - 3/16/2011 (78382) (0) |
