Lovelock, 92, is writing a new book in which he will say climate change is still happening, but not as quickly as he once feared.
He previously painted some of the direst visions of the effects of climate change. In 2006, in an article in the U.K.’s Independent newspaper, he wrote that “before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.”
However, the professor admitted in a telephone interview with msnbc.com that he now thinks he had been “extrapolating too far.”

“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.

Once any so called “eco-scientist” can be proven to have lied in order to receive gov’t grants, punishment should always include being disconnected from the grid.
“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing.”
In other words, the problem with our problem is that it may not be a problem.
Kate, I can’t figure out where to post this…wanted you to see it
Man Beaten By Mob, In Critical Condition
MOBILE, Alabama —
Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he’s in critical condition.
According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.
Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.
Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. “It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed.” Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using “brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on.”
Police will only say “multiple people” are involved.
What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said “Now thats justice for Trayvon.” Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford, Florida.
Police canvassed the area, but did not find any suspects. They’re asking anyone with information to call them at 251-208-7211, Crime Stoppers at 251-208-7000, or text a tip to 274637 and include the keyword CRIME 411.

So he ordered the Earth well-done and the waiter brought out Terra Tartare.
When are people going to understand that these “climatologists” are making predictions using similar models that used to “predict” the weather. I don’t know about where you live but here in Victoria the weather forecast is wrong A LOT.
This should be very important, considering that Lovelock (I keep saying Lovelace…) created the Gaia hypothesis and was the guru/philosopher who provided the foundations for the eco fanaticism surrounding us.
Strangely, however, nobody seems to be paying any attention to him. Mr. Lovelock has been exiled.
Hey c’mon; a very influential guy is freely admitting he was wrong, and that the concept is without merit. Why are you slagging him?
Take it and run with it! This is prime ammunition.
Did Lovelock write his series of books because he was a silly,frightened old man,or because he wanted to make money and gain fame for himself?
Allah almighty! We have “fashion gurus”, “political gurus”,”religious gurus”,”social gurus”, now we have “climate change gurus”. Welcome to the world of pretentiousness.

He is being slagged because he is a pscyhopathic,anti-human,narcissitic piece of crap,who,along with his DDT crap,has killed millions,cost western countries trillions in scams,and is an unrepentent commie piece of crap.
He shoiuld be either in jail or a pscyh ward.
Lovelock was absolutely right. By the end of the century, billions of people WILL die. Not because of climate change, mind you, the average lifespan is close to 82 years, which means that virtually everyone alive today will be dead by 2100, and the vast majority of the children born between now and 2018 will also be dead by 2100 as well.
At the age of 92 what is he really going to do with all that money from big oil? He must be on the take to support a sick relative. 1st NASA, now this, is there nothing big oil won’t stoop to?I’m calling Suzuki to get to the bottom of this.
We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now,” he (lovelock) said.
Yep, and South Louisiana was suppose to be under water by now. Thank God, I would hate to miss Swamp People and Mudcats, ;- )
,
No fool like an old fool eh?
It would be bad enough if was only the eco-fanatic fools who had their money departed.
But thanks to clueless politicians, professors, teachers and bureaucrats millions of innocent citizens also lost money on this climate scam.
Lovelock says too bad, so sad. Not so fast buddy – embezzlement is a crime with real penalties.
Climate alarmism is the mother-of-all-hoaxes.
Let the mother-of-all-lawsuits begin.
Well it should not be too long before this lying old commie finds that he is in a much warmer place, and it won t be here on earth.
