Any prediction, given enough time, will eventually be borne out, but maybe not in this universe. Runaway global warming is just not possible using the Three Laws of Thermodynamics.
- Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
- In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state. (Entropy)
- Energy of any system can never be fully dissipated.
Or more succinctly and simply put:
1. You can’t win.
2. You can’t break even.
3. You are not allowed to get out of the game.
(he predicted that the main problem in 2000 would be the environment. “It will be worsening then to such an extent that it will seriously affect their business,” he said.
“And of course,” Lovelock says, with a smile 43 years later, “that’s almost exactly what’s happened.”)
“almost exactly”? It’s freaking miles from what’s happened! It takes a special kind of delusion to describe the opposite of reality as reality, to show that one’s predictions came to pass when they didn’t.
