In the discussion thread: 'Gaia' scientist James Lovelock: I was 'alarmist' about climate change [View all]

7. Lovelock was wrong in 2004

when he said that nuclear power was the only way to stop global warming. He's most likely wrong about this, but he's been right about much more. God knows I hope he's right about the pace of climate change, but the real question should be: had we listened to him in the 70s would we be having this discussion today?
