Reply #121: The danger is clear and present, but Lovelock is a hack.

His ideological bias led him to advocate doing nothing to constrain capitalisms "natural" workings because Gaia would take care of things, then sell himself to the nuclear power power interests for grant money, then to advocate against taking any meaningful action because it is too late and his Gaia garbage was all BS.

He is a perfect example of a bright talented individual whose ideological blinders are so constraining that he uses his talent only to support his biases.

Obviously there are many easy solutions to the problem of global climate poisoning. The one real difficulty is that the power of the mega-corporations that profit from the destruction of our habitat is almost insurmountable.
