"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.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Renderofveils]

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

[cripplecreek]

If only we could find what space age technology the cave men were using to save themselves.

[Travis McGee]

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

[ReneeLynn]

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.

[Candor7]

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]

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.

[Oceander]

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

[jessduntno]

The Gaia Theory is like the Zen Hot Dog Salesmen...makes us all one with everything...

[muir_redwoods]

"James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change"

Or cause it, for that matter

[cranked]

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. =.=

[Da Coyote]

“globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist”

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.

[Tax-chick]

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.

[Brilliant]

Agreed. So why spend money trying to do it?

[SunkenCiv]

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.

See the related story, "All other humans: James Lovelock is too stupid to tell us how to live our lives."

[Magic Fingers]

“The inertia of humans is so huge that you can’t really do anything meaningful.”

Whew, that’s a relief. Let’s grill some hotdogs in the back yard instead.

[norwaypinesavage]

Let me see if I understand this. I’m stupid, and this blithering kook is smart. So now I should trust him to tax my wealth so he can save the world? Righhhhht

[Brett66]

His Gaia theory seems to have a rationale for self-regulating homeostasis of Earth's environment. It doesn't really buttress the hockey alarmism of AGW.

Of course I don't expect consistency or rational thought with AGW proponents.
