James Lovelock is a 88 year old environmentalists who is the predictor of horrible events caused by global warming. As a matter of fact, he pretty much has decided it is too late to do anything about the climate and by 2100 humans will be coming to an end.
Timesonline writer Rachel Johnson lays out the story behind Mr. Lovelock and his nutty insights.
By 2020, he believes, droughts and extreme weather will be the norm (not the scattered showers so dear to our forecasters), the Sahara will be moving into Europe, Berlin will be as hot as Baghdad, populations will live off man-made comestibles such as Quorn because there will be no land to grow food and, oh yes, London will be under water.
Here is some of his own words regarding the latest IPCC report:
When I looked at the IPCC report again - it was with a new sense of awareness - I now saw it as the scariest official document I have ever read. It was all too clear that the message from climate scientists was not reaching the public and especially not in the USA, this of course was before Al Gore presented his book and film. I now take an apocalyptic view of the future because I see 6 to 8 billions of humans faced with ever diminishing supplies of food and water in an increasingly intolerable climate.
So, in one paragraph he mentions the IPCC, Al Gore, unreceptive Americans, and how we are all doomed. Guess he is sold on it.
