'I made a mistake': Gaia theory scientist James Lovelock admits he was 'alarmist' about the impact of climate change
| Quote: |
Environmental scientist James Lovelock, renowned for his terrifying predictions of climate change's deadly impact on the planet, has gone back on his previous claims, admitting they were 'alarmist'.
The 92-year-old Briton, who also developed the Gaia theory of the Earth as a single organism, has said climate change is still happening - just not as quickly as he once warned.
He added that other environmental commentators, such as former vice president Al Gore, are also guilty of exaggerating their arguments.
The admission comes as a devastating blow to proponents of climate change who regard Lovelock as a powerful figurehead. |

I was quite surprised to read this the other day... This guy was one of worst alarmists around, predicting billions would die and basically calling CO2 a deadly gas. The fact that he would turn around his views goes to show how utterly discredited they have become. The unraveling of one of the biggest farces in human history continues... |
