Let's hope James Lovelock is wrong.
'Enjoy life while you can'
Climate science maverick James Lovelock believes catastrophe is
inevitable, carbon offsetting is a joke and ethical living a scam. So
what would he do?
He is just old. He sees no effects in his lifetime and obviously cares
nothing for his grandkids, or anyone elses. Besides he is just pissed
that the science establishment has no regard for him.
According to his website:
"He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974 and in 1975
received the Tswett Medal for Chromatography. Earlier he received a CIBA
Foundation Prize for research into Ageing. In 1980 he received the
American Chemical Society's award for Chromatography and in 1986 the
Silver Medal and Prize of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. In 1988 he was
a recipient of the Norbert Gerbier Prize of the World Meteorological
Organization, and in 1990 was awarded the first Amsterdam Prize for the
Environment by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. In
1996 he received the Volvo Prize for the Environment and in 1997 the Blue
Planet Prize. He has received honorary Doctorates in Science from the
University East Anglia 1982, Exeter University 1988, Plymouth Polytechnic
(now Plymouth University) 1988, Stockholm University 1991, University of
Edinburgh 1993, University of Kent 1996 and the University of Colorado
(at Boulder) 1997. He was made a C.B.E. in 1990, and in 2003 a Companion
of Honour by Her Majesty the Queen."
This does not seem like a man for whom the "science establishment" has no
regard.
and now spends his time researching the "paranormal".
You seem to be raising the question of whether Peter's comment is relevant;
I was merely questioning whether it is accurate.
What can you tell us about this Cambridge chappie's feelings towards his
grandchildren?
