Susan Gaines prompts her readers to ponder the proper role of science in society in her novel while Michael Crichton presents a startling caricature of environmentalist in his novel sowing seeds of doubts about environmental science. Ironically Michael Crichton s State of Fear is a great success thus suggesting A little bit of environmental knowledge and a lot of literary eloquence can be dangerous. At the same time the author points out that environmental literature and ecocriticism has not only its power but also its potential danger. Key words: environmental fiction; global climate change; trust; scientific uncertainty 1 : (Thinking Like Yucca Mountain: Taking to Heart the Literature of Sustainability) : 1985 : (Filters Against Folly: How to Survive Despite Ecologists E- conomists and the Merely Eloquent)
