I’ve been engrossed in James Lovelock’s book.
He differs from general scientific and governmental consensus with respect to the timeframe and manage-ability of global warming. He reckons its progress is unstoppable and that we should be concentrating our efforts on surviving the inevitable. Most of the earth’s 7 billion people won’t survive.
And a frustrating coincidence: when Googling him this morning, I found two articles in today’s Irish Times, the newspaper I read most days. James Lovelock took part in a public debate on climate change in UCD (yards from where I am sitting). Last Night.
I missed it :-(
