James Lovelock Goes Skeptical on Global Warming

Environmental Guru and Inventor of the “Gaia” Theory of the Living Earth James Lovelock: I Was a Climate Change “Alarmist” And So Is Al Gore

“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock said.

“The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now,” he said.

“The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time… it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that,” he added.

Hey, give him credit. The warming trend stopped its rapid upslope and has now taken a 15 year break. When the data changed, his opinion changed. That’s more than you can say for some global warming true believers.
