Pre Eminent Scientist Now Predicts the End of The World

It's here now, so run for the hills according to what Rolling Stone, (a liberal magazine I tossed to the scrap heap back in my mid twenties musician heydeys), and many others claim as we all know, including one who many consider to be the "know all of climate change" a one James Lovelock. He warns that by the end of the century according to his now changed calculations the world will shed 6 billion people by 2100 at present pace.

He also says midway into the article something quite interesting that most lefties will let go in one ear and out the other:

Lovelock knows that predicting the end of civilization is not an exact science. "I could be wrong about all this," he admits as we stroll around the park in Norway.

Yes he sure as hell could as could most others now predicting the morbid future of the planet, they all claim with some sort of superior accuracy that for some bulls*** reason or another we the warmongering warming deniers don't possess.

Lovelock came up with his often pointed to Gaia theory, or "Earth system science," during a rough time in his life in 1961 and he has some interesting theories worth paying attention to, and certainly has made some earth shattering contributions to mankind, so he's not an Al Gore political type with no credentials whatsoever other than a willing audience swallowing his hype to offer and back up his theories.

He also by the way concurs that many of the greenies today are simply hucksters and profiteers, as the warming change is simply programmed into the globes "dna" and there's not much man can do about it's outcome. That hypothesis I would agree with whole heartedly. He has now as the article mentions changed his mind somewhat all of a sudden interestingly.

Of coarse we can try and limit the damage we all do to the planet through our use of it's resources and limiting man made pollutants, but stopping the earth from doing what it wants to do is simply the stuff of lunatic dreamland.

Regardless of the alarmist tone it's a good article worth a look to see what the fringe is reading and using for their alarmist ammunition today.

The Prophet of Climate Change: James Lovelock

One of the most eminent scientists of our time says that global warming is irreversible — and that more than 6 billion people will perish by the end of the century

Rolling Stone: At the age of eighty-eight, after four children and a long and respected career as one of the twentieth century's most influential scientists, James Lovelock has come to an unsettling conclusion: The human race is doomed. "I wish I could be more hopeful," he tells me one sunny morning as we walk through a park in Oslo, where he is giving a talk at a university.

Lovelock is a small man, unfailingly polite, with white hair and round, owlish glasses. His step is jaunty, his mind lively, his manner anything but gloomy. In fact, the coming of the Four Horsemen -- war, famine, pestilence and death -- seems to perk him up. "It will be a dark time," Lovelock admits. "But for those who survive, I suspect it will be rather exciting."

He didn't always feel this gloom and doom attitude though, as this portion late into the article reveals to those not familiar with his earlier findings and beliefs.

"Until recently, Lovelock thought that global warming would be just like his half-assed forest -- something the planet would correct for. Then, in 2004, Lovelock's friend Richard Betts, a researcher at the Hadley Centre for Climate Change -- England's top climate institute -- invited him to stop by and talk with the scientists there. Lovelock went from meeting to meeting, hearing the latest data about melting ice at the poles, shrinking rain forests, the carbon cycle in the oceans. 'It was terrifying,' he recalls." continued here

Well well, until recently (2004) he thought the world would correct itself in some fashion or at some point, but no longer believes this to be the case? Could money be an influencing factor in his fluctuating opinion? It sure seems to be with just about every single person involved on both sides of this issue, mostly the alarmists led by Al Gore.

So as long as he and people that agree with him are at the helm of that argument I'll choose to believe what Lovelock himself professed for most of his life, that the world is greater than we can understand and will go on to evolve in whichever way it chooses and we can simply do what we can as stewards of the earth to try and not hasten it's demise too much if we can even do that at all in the first place.
