Byron, and I'm sad that I'll never behold the mighty dodo.
If anyone doubts what the whole AGW fraud is really about, here it is out of the horse's ass's mouth:

Marian, one reason I liked THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK was that the t-rex eats the family dog in the back yard.
2012 wasn't much on character credibility---when the scientist asks the president's daughter to hook up at the end of the movie, she doesn't say "I JUST LOST MY FATHER AND EVERYBODY ELSE I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT IN A WORLDWIDE CATACLYSM, YOU DOLT!" Thandie Newton just smiles shyly like they're doing a scene from OUR TOWN.
But. Best. Special. Effects. Ever.

John, the audiobook is also out. I don't know who the narrator is, but it's a two-volume set in audio. It's two bricks.
That would be Raul Esparza, Bill, an actor in Broadway musicals and one of only 2 male actors to be nominated for a Tony in every acting category (4).
Which means, I guess, that if there are any songs Under the Dome, they should be done pretty good.

Thanks for the responses. Bruce, if it's fast-paced, that's a big plus for me with King, who many a time I'd wish he would just GET ON WITH IT!!! I've never been that impressed with King's characterizations, which are more "writerly" than reflective of what you'd find in life, though many critics disagree.

Actually Byron most sceptics do not reject global warming- it is the man made part of it that we tend to have our doubts about.
And finding that type of equivelence coming from you is disappointinf.
I expected better.

The AGW crowd have done enormous damage to the trust the public have in science and the scientific method.
They have cherry picked data, refused access to raw data and methodologies and employed statistical methods that have real statisticians screaming in horror.
And that in the end is what really annoys me about the whole AGW scam- the damage done to science.
Most of the people in my neck of the woods who reject global warming also reject evolution.

Mark,
Yes that is pretty poignant.
You have by the way put your finger on the crux of the matter- trust.
The AGW crowd have done enormous damage to the trust the public have in science and the scientific method.
They have cherry picked data, refused access to raw data and methodologies and employed statistical methods that have real statisticians screaming in horror.
And that in the end is what really annoys me about the whole AGW scam- the damage done to science.
If you read through the items some of the most damning are a series of emails suggesting possible methods of "freezing out" ( no pun intended) scientific journals that publish papers from AGW sceptics -thus enabling the supporters of AGW to claim that no peer reviewed papers have appeared in accepted scientific journals.
And it is about time that the real scientists out there stood up and defended their calling.
Oh and for those who are interested in just what Phil Jones meant by "Mikes's Nature trick":
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/20/mikes-nature-trick/
A final point.
If I were Phil Jones or Michael Mann I would be very careful what I post in response.
It might just be that those who have posted these emails and documents are taking a page out ot Andrew Breitbarts book.
Remember how he played the Acorn scandal?
Release a few tapes and then let your opponents respond-"these tapes prove nothing, isolated incidents etc"
Then hit them with some more emails/films even more damaging than the first ones.
Not saying that's what will happen but it is how I would have played it.

Sadly, Byron, the passenger pigeon is extinct. Yet somehow the earth abides...
