Another Greenie Gets It Wrong,

James Lovelock, who became a guru to the environmental movement,

has finally admitted to being “alarmist” about climate change and says other environmental commentators, such as Al Gore, were too, He previously painted some of the direst visions of the effects of climate change, in 2006, in an article in the U.K.’s Independent newspaper, he wrote that “before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable,” however, the professor admitted in a telephone interview with msnbc.com that he now thinks he had been “extrapolating too far,"


the sad news is that so many people, governments included, believed him, Oliver Morton, of the journal Nature wrote in Time, “Jim Lovelock has no university, no research institute, no students, His almost unparallelled influence in environmental science is based instead on a particular way of seeing things,” 


Lovelock said he did not mind saying “all right, I made a mistake,” but unfortunately a very costly one as we are all now paying green taxes based on research such as his, but now it appears it is not true, I wonder if governments will scrap the farcical green taxes that we now pay in our household bills? but at least Lovelock is correct on one front, he has fallen out with the green movement in the past, particularly after saying countries should build nuclear power stations to help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by coal and oil, so he is not all bad!
