brian0918 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) http://news.investor...mate-change.htm James Lovelock, father of the "Gaia" theory that the entire earth is a single living system, was one of the many voices that's predicted environmental calamity will result from carbon dioxide emissions. He claimed in 2006 that "before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable." ... "We thought we knew 20 years ago," he said. "That led to some alarmist books — mine included — because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened." The most interesting bit of his comments: The 92-year-old Lovelock notes that "the climate is doing its usual tricks" and concedes "there's nothing much really happening yet" even though "we were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now." So if he knows from experience that the climate usually "tricks" you - i.e., runs contrary to your models -, on what grounds did he hold such certainty about the most recent models?
