    'Enjoy life while you can'

    Testimonials Climate science maverick James Lovelock believes catastrophe is inevitable, carbon offsetting is a joke and ethical living a scam. So what would he do?
    By Decca Aitkenhead/The Guardian March 1, 2008

    In 1965 executives at Shell wanted to know what the world would look like in the year 2000. They consulted a range of experts, who speculated about fusion-powered hovercrafts and "all sorts of fanciful technological stuff". When the oil company asked the scientist James Lovelock, he predicted that the main problem in 2000 would be the environment. "It will be worsening then to such an extent that it will seriously affect their business," he said.

    "And of course," Lovelock says, with a smile 43 years later, "that's almost exactly what's happened."



    Lovelock has been dispensing predictions from his one-man laboratory in an old mill in Cornwall since the mid-1960s, the consistent accuracy of which have earned him a reputation as one of Britain's most respected - if maverick - independent scientists. Working alone since the age of 40, he invented a device that detected CFCs, which helped detect the growing hole in the ozone layer, and introduced the Gaia hypothesis, a revolutionary theory that the Earth is a self-regulating super-organism. Initially ridiculed by many scientists as new age nonsense, today that theory forms the basis of almost all climate science.

    For decades, his advocacy of nuclear power appalled fellow environmentalists - but recently increasing numbers of them have come around to his way of thinking. His latest book, The Revenge of Gaia, predicts that by 2020 extreme weather will be the norm, causing global devastation; that by 2040 much of Europe will be Saharan; and parts of London will be underwater. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report deploys less dramatic language - but its calculations aren't a million miles away from his...

    The one thing I have noticed is that every two or three years the estimates about the future have to be pulled in. For example estimates about sea levels and global temperatures made at the turn of the century suggested several metres and several degress within a few hundred years. Current estimates have pulled that timescale in to a hundred years. So Lovelock's estimation is simply what the clinmate scientist will be officially saying sometime in the next 5 years.

    You can all bleat on about its not us etc etc but that doesn't stop what's happening from continuing to get worse! You really have to be blind to not see that the weather (a consequence of climate) is up it's proverbially a....

    So there are politicians alive today whose decision today will have a consequence that they will personally observe. Maybe just maybe the realisation that you will personally be affected will force some tough decision making (not nuclear though that really would be a huge mistake).

    Mr. Lovelock probably has the most realistic assessment of the future, one in which the living will curse the dead.

    It really gets down to what one can do now that would be most effective in maximizing options in the future. There's little that can be done to reverse the direction we have taken since Drake hit that oil reservoir in 1859.

    Climate change will merely be a force multiplier. Starvation, the prime horseman of this Apocalypse, will do much of culling of the offending species, and within 200 years, human existence will return to the conditions of a pre industrial era. Study the lifestyles of the Amish, thats what life will be like, tough, boring, and limited.

    The best advice, don't expend energy arguing with SpinMeisters that have agendas driven by their own self interests. Second advice, stay out of debt, debt reduces ones options. Third advice, stay healthy, being sick with cronic conditions reduces ones options even more.

    Unfortuantely,  this advice is exactly the opposite of what Americans are doing right now.
