"Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."
That's some creepy shite right there.

>>Lovelock, 90, believes the world’s best hope is to invest in adaptation measures, such as building sea defences around the cities that are most vulnerable to sea-level rises. He thinks only a catastrophic event would now persuade humanity to take the threat of climate change seriously enough, such as the collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica, such as the Pine Island glacier, which would immediately push up sea level.

You are the smart one alright...

Methinks someone needs to inform Mr Lovelock that humans are too insignificant to cause climate change.

Not even if we threw the Algore into a volcano for Goddess Gaia?

The only time I can think that democracy was voluntarily restored after “a little while” was in Chile under Pinochet.

What the heck is a ‘respected environmental thinker’?! He puts the ‘mental’ in environmental.

Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives I admit that. But fortunately my house has a thermostat. When the temperature goes up, or down, I don't have to do a thing. The little magic box does it for me.
the world's best hope is to invest in adaptation measures, such as building sea defences around the cities that are most vulnerable to sea-level rises.
If you live within two inches above sea level, and you think you might still be living there a century from now, you might throw another inch of topsoil on your yard. Just in case.

Mankind cannot prevent climate change" Nor can mankind cause it.
Climate change is in the jurisdiction of volcanos and the Sun. Man is but a bit player in this arena of such titans.

Farlander: James Lovelock is too stupid to function and is a waste of space and precious oxygen.
I humbly suggest he go fertilize a tree or a pasture.

This Plato quote applies to crypto-fascists like Lovelock just as much as to overt fascists like Obama:

Obviously, the idiot is trying to say that most of us humans are smarter than these idiots give us credit for since we are not buying into their global warming scam and hoax. =.=

One must remember that anyone who can screw in a light bulb qualifies to the Guardian bimboys and bimbos.
If this “thinker” would like to schedule a debate, let me know. I have just a few scientific credentials - and I’m not so senile that I’ve forgotten what I got my degree in.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades. So let's just do nothing. I for one am totally okay with that.

“James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory.”
If this Gaia crap is all he cranks it up to be then Gaia will just suck down an asteroid to resolve all these problems with man.
I for one hope I am at Ground Zero, staring up at that sumbish with my arm extended and my middle finger raised.
