James Lovelock to be precise, author of the Gaia hypothesis so warmly
embraced by the warmists.
‘Global warming? What global warming?’ says High Priest of Gaia
Religion
By James Delingpole | The Telegraph
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels
of God over one sinner that repenteth”, saith the Bible.
So let joy be unconfined that one of the archest of the world’s arch
Greenies – James Lovelock, inventor of the Gaia hypothesis and therefore,
more or less, founder of the world’s most powerful modern religion – has
come clean and admitted that he got it wrong in his doomsday predictions
about “Climate Change.”
Well, come almost clean.
I can’t say there has been quite as much wailing and lamentation and as
breast-beating as I would have liked. Here’s what he has said in in his
retraction in an interview with MSNBC.
“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We
thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine
included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock
said.
“The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much
really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world
now,” he said.
“The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve
years is a reasonable time… it (the temperature) has stayed almost
constant, whereas it should have been rising – carbon dioxide is rising, no
question about that,” he added.
Presumably, Professor Lovelock will now be donating all his royalties
from his earlier alarmist bestsellers to help fund those proper, principled,
decent scientists around the world – Fred Singer, Richard Lindzen, Bob
Carter, Ian Plimer, Tim Ball et al – whose careers have been blighted and
whose lives have been made misery for having said precisely what Lovelock is
now admitting, only much, much earlier. And then, perhaps, using his cachet
among his greenie co-religionists to make amends for his sins by calling
for the abolition of the IPCC.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover this has been deemed un-
newsworthy on this side of the pond. /Louis Renault Mode
