Lovelock Admits ‘Mistake’
A broken clock is right twice a day.
James Lovelock, the climate scientist and ecofascist who came up with the “Gaia” theory of the earth being a single living system, admitted a few years ago that “We don’t know what the climate is doing,” though he stopped short of fully recanting his position on global warming. However, interviewing with Nature last week, Lovelock further admitted, “[I]t was such a temptation for everyone to say, ‘Well, with CO2 rising we can say in such and such a year it will be this hot.’ It was a mistake we all made.” He added, “the heat storage of the ocean [is] a thousand times greater than the atmosphere and the surface. You can’t change that very rapidly. But being an independent scientist, it is much easier to say you made a mistake than if you are a government department or an employee or anything like that.” Asked what the next century holds, he responded, “That’s impossible to answer. All I can say is that it will be nowhere as near as bad as the worst-case scenario.”
