British biologist James Lovelock says humanity is "Earth's infection." If Mr. Lovelock were sincere, he would commit suicide immediately.
But he doesn't want to commit suicide.
He wants OTHER PEOPLE to commit suicide.
For their own good, of course.

The ninety-year old Lovelock had some stark comments in his NewScientist interview.
Most of the green stuff is verging on a gigantic scam. Carbon trading..is just what finance and industry wanted. Its not going to do a damn thing about climate change, but itll make a lot of money for a lot of people..

leftard sells crappy newage book, leftarded media pushes aforementioned crappy newage book, making it into a "story".
Global warming? No.
Toxic oceans? No.
Swine flu? Damp squib.
Do you think maybe if we get a dude dressed like Obama to jump off a cliff they'll all follow him?

Crack meet Pot. These guys fit the definition of an “expert” that I recently heard - a person that knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing. And of course the “defects” in the earth are explained in Genesis, but I doubt either of these children of “mother earth” have bothered with the explanation provided by the Creator. Anyway their musing are good for a laugh.

That's original, I wonder where he came up with that idea?

"Individuals occasionally suffer a disease called polycythaemia, an overpopulation of red blood cells. Individuals also occasionally suffer a disease called self-loathing hysteria, an overamplification of pomposity mixed with idiocy.

It isn’t the happiest analogy, actually. The Earth’s population at the time of the Black Death was only about 400 million. Maybe 250 million at the time of the Plague of Justinian. Disease may be a lot of things but Mother Gaia throwing a snit probably isn’t one of them. IMHO.

An entire article on the medean effect, and they never define it.
Mass extinctions due to meteor stikes means Earth is set up to prevent over population? Stupidity. How does a supposedly intelligent person mistake chance for intent?

He says the cure won't come until the human tribe is trimmed back from its current 6.8 billion to, say, 1 billion people. He is the earth doctor, and he's found a cure! All we need to do is "trim" 5.8 billion people, and Gaia will be happy once again!
In previous times guys like this were called witch doctors.

Incidently, if I'm willing to accept that "Mother Earth" controls everything that takes place on the planet, how does that translate into sunspots or ateroids tens of millions of miles from earth, which set out on orbits 5 billion years ago which would eventually cross paths with Gia, and send the asteroids crashing into us?
