Two months ago, James Lovelock, the godfather of global warming, gave a startling interview to msnbc.com in which he acknowledged he had been unduly “alarmist” about climate change.
To summarize:
- “the problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago.”
- unlike many climate scientists who fear a loss of government funding if they admit error, as a freelance scientist, he’s never been afraid to revise his theories in the face of new evidence. Indeed, that’s how science advances.
- Lovelock has now come out in favour of natural gas fracking (which environmentalists also oppose), as a low-polluting alternative to coal.
- Lovelock blasted greens for treating global warming like a religion. {using guilt as a drving force]
- Lovelock mocks the idea modern economies can be powered by wind turbines.As he puts it, “so-called ‘sustainable development’ … is meaningless drivel …
- “One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything.
Read the whole thing.
It looks like the godfather of global warming is saying "Rush was right."
