Climate Change "Guru" Claims He Was An "Alarmist"

Scientist James Lovelock, the man behind the Giai theory on the Earth and climate change has somewhat changed his tune on the much debated environmental concern, claiming himself as an "alarmist" as well as charging some of his fellow climate researchers with the same.

The Earth is still warming, he says, but just not as fast as they all once believed and thus, his previous theories have been proven wrong, and some of his predictions, he says, extrapolate to far.

The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock said.

“The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now,” he said.

See his argument, how other environmentalists, react and also see the defense for continuation of carbon emission-reducing problems...

I think it's a step forward, actually. If you tell someone "you're going to die tomorrow and nothing you can do will save you." they won't do anything, or they'll party...if you tell someone "you're going to die in fifty years IF you don't curb your carbon emissions" I think you'll get a far more logical response.
