  • James Lovelock's book, "The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning" is now available on audio. Check it out at Post Hypnotic Press.

  • It's a slow ..it's a slow ..it's a slow train coming.But Dr.Lovelock I believe is correct if ya listen you can hear it a ways off but nearing the station.There is nothing we will do to stop or fix the changes we have set in motion to our planet and climate that will be arriving on the train.We have an unsustainable life style in the modern world that is attached to an unsustainable growth economy.As intelligent as we are ..we are not Wise enough to figure out a way to make the changes needed.

  • He also refers to the few people who will survive the coming apocalypse, huddled near the poles, as "breeding pairs". Who the hell refers to human beings in those terms? There seems to be an unconscious strain of misanthropy in his writings of late.

  • @squamish4244 Crazy people refer to people in those terms.

  • Lovelock is a brilliant scientist but I have multiple issues with his ideas. He isn't the best person to talk to regarding social and political responses to crises, given that it's not his area of expertise - e.g. he regards humans as a "disease" of Gaia with 'Original Sin' undertones. In addition, I wonder if he, at the age of 89 in this interview, is projecting his own mortality onto that of our species.

  • If you want to discuss and consider data, then you need only look at the graph that shows the correlation between the amount of corbon doixide in the atmosphere and global temperature. Think about the upward spike in carbon in the atmosphere right now, and consider the most likely response in global temperature. Given that the data comes from ice samples that go back tens of thousands of years, and the two graphs are so closely aligned, it is a compelling argument for Lovelock's warnings.

  • What the fuck is wrong with that guys face?

  • @IMmoreRANDOMthanYOU He's the Werewolf of London.

  • Fabian Socialist ECO-NUT. Thank GOD people like him aren't a majority. Insane old BASTARD. The old man is a behind the times(scientifically) FOOL. He's the type that would be having "Boards" and "Hearings" for people on why they should be allowed to live. It's good he will be leaving this world soon and I don't mean his "space trip".unless they are talking about ejecting his ashes into orbit.

    He thinks/claims "humans have been here 7 climate changes". So, cave men changed the climate? Old FOOL.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    we need global 1 child policy to get population down

  • @walter0bz NO. We do not. Asking PERMISSION to have a child? ...and if your wife gets pregnant after your first "APPROVED" child they kill it? I don't think so. That's asinine and quite immoral in the extreme. As if murdering children in their womb isn't bad enough as a FALSE choice of MURDER supported by socialist/liberal fools.

    Did any of you ever watch "The Silent Scream" or do you baby murder supporters just ignore it and claim it was "fake"...which it is not.Watch the BABY scream and kick.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    i'll agree late term abortions are questionable,

    one practical idea would be to restrict access to all fossil-fuel products to people who are sterilized, that would fix the problem

  • @walter0bz I'll agree that any abortion is questionable and that in the future at some point those with intelligence and MORALITY will look back upon this time in history in HORROR.

    What do fossil fuels have to do with anything except in the mind of an eco-"nut"? Smog can be a problem that's about it. MM Global Warming is as false as Al Gore's mind is small and insane.

    Sterilizing people is a Fabian Socialist view. EVIL. Good for you.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    what do fossil fuels have to do with anything...??

    you dont have to be an 'eco-nut' to fear resource depletion.

    You just need straightforward common sense.

    The resource is finite, we depend on it. when it runs out, our present systems will no longer function. Its' not rocket science.

    Peak Oil and MMGW are seperate issues.

    I think you're confusing Socialist with Authoritarian.

  • @walter0bz You don't have to punish people for using a resource we HAVE NOW while we develop other sources. There is no viable replacement AT THIS TIME. Perhaps you would see that if you didn't blind yourself with such absurd evil ideas about the human race. Socialism IS Authoritarian in it's own right. Communism and Socialism have the SAME end goals. You would know this if you had studied more and paid less attention to insane bastards like this guy.

  • @007CTHULHU007

    >>" There is no viable replacement AT THIS TIME."

    - ah, thats a bit better. At least you're not telling me there's 1000 years of oil, or it renews abiotically.

    but I prefer peeps be born knowing that the resource is there for them.

    Perhaps award the Breeding License for progress in alternative energy / fossil-fuel free living ?

    >>"Socialism IS Authoritarian in it's own right. "

    funny one this, i think i'm mostly 'libertarian' but I have to admit my views on pop-control aren't

  • @walter0bz There will be no GD "Breeding License" in the United States of America for any purpose. It would be unconstitutional and there would be a 21st Century revolution if the asinine liberals/socialists of this country forced it on us as they forced the Obamacare nightmare on us...which is also Unconstitutional. The people here aren't that ignorant...the majority of them.

    How is Nanny State socialism NOT authoritarian? Government in most aspects of private life. Even "food" police.Asinine.

  • Yes, your view on population control is Communist. You assume people don't know the right thing to do and that government must FORCE them to do what the Government THINKS is the right thing to do. A minority enforcing it's will on the Majority. Communism and Socialism.

    

  • It seems to always come back to the "rich". The rich make everything you use,eat,play with, and NEED. Far from the Leftist/Socialistic view the majority of "rich" people are not "evil". Though they...they being liberals/socialist, mass BIASED media, and even fictional movies such as trashy vomitous movies like Avatar(and many others) would have you believe in this fictional reality. What we saw in London were entitlement riots brought on by the shooting of a damnable drug dealer. An EXCUSE.

  • You are talking classic class warfare propaganda. I still find it hard to comprehend how people can be so stupidly gullable as to believe this insane biased nonsense with no factual data to support it. Just words from your local asshat...I mean liberal politician. As I said the riots in London were socialist entitlement riots. With the "minorities" claiming they were "taking back their tax dollars" for not being GIVEN shiny beads from their quasi-totalitarian socialistic government.

  • walter0bz Reckless? Inhumane? For what? There are no "promises". We have enough fuel in the U.S. if ALLOWED TO ACCESS IT to fuel us for near another century. It can be accessed without any environmental "damage" as liberals claim. They just want to play this pretend game of "we are out NOW"...when we aren't. We can use what we have while perfecting other means of energy production making them viable while we use what we already HAVE and aren't allowed to get to by eco-liberal asinine fools.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    as I see it, you have to predict how the other guy will react. If the rich go and breed but tell the poor 'sorry you can't afford to or you'll have to starve', the poor will stop playing "free market",and they'll do what we just saw in London on an even bigger scale. Its' best to lead by example. One child policy for all, rich / poor, high/low IQ. (sure i'd like IQ-based eugenics,but..) - then no one will rebel.

    Its' a unique problem in history, we're all in it together

  • @walter0bz Rebel? That's why American's have the Right to Bare Arms.. In case some fool like Obama gets out of control and starts forcing things upon the people unconstitutionally..kind of similar to what he's done ILLEGALLY and UNCONSTITUTIONALLY with Immigration law just recently. Instead of going through proper channels as he SAID he would he just did it ALL by himself. It won't stand up in the Supreme Court. Nor will his Socialist Medical Bill "Obamacare". It's already been deemed...

  • ...Unconstitutional by a lower court. Now it will go to the Supreme Court where it shall also be deemed Unconstitutional. Our Country is about Freedom of the PEOPLE.Not totalitarian Nanny State Socialism...which is what that incompetent fool Obama wanted from the start. If you don't have a Nanny State you don't have riots of people wanting something for nothing from their government. One child policy as I said will NEVER happen here. That only happens in a Hellhole of Totalitarianism like China.

  • @walter0bz It's not a problem unless the government starts trying to enforce IT'S will upon the people instead of the PEOPLE enforcing their will on the government as it should be. In other words government by the people, of the people, and for the people. Democratic REPUBLIC. We are a Republic not a "Democracy". Thank God.

    You start trying to enforce a flawed minority view on the people HERE, then you get a BIG problem much worse than socialist entitlement riots that happen all over the E.U..

  • @walter0bz Gaia theory is idiotic. It's perfectly and logically dismissed as Eco-nuttery by any mind with Common Sense and Logic...I wonder how many times I've stated that to mislead liberals//socialists....alot I know. They just don't get it. They don't use these traits to come to their conclusions. You don't use these traits to come to your "opinions". You listen to a crazy old man that probably values animal life over human life. It matches nothing I know about nature, physics, or REALITY.

  • This kind of craptastic ideology is a religion...or cult. There is little to no basis in any factual content. It's just opinionated nonsense to the logical mind.

    MMGW is nonsense. It's a politically CREATED ideology for liberals and socialist to scare the Hell out of weak minded people. Too bad about those emails they caught showing how they manipulated global temperature averages by putting gauges in front of A.C. outputs and hot rooftops in the sun to try and make it appear as factual. A LIE.

  • @walter0bz IF the world was warming it is a natural Climatic change that has happened throughout the entire history and prehistory of this world. Their Cult of eco-nuttery has killed millions via banning DDT, enforcing grain alcohol substitutes which are NOT viable. You would have to have a cornfield as big as the state of Texas to have barely enough grain alcohol to run our machines. Much the same as "Wind Energy".It is not a viable source. It does not produce anywhere near the output needed.

  • @walter0bz CO2 is there most recent attack...you know the gas that makes plants produce OXYGEN. It's absolutely ridiculous political pseudo-science/straw science. The ONLY reason for it is politics. Liberal/socialist politics. It's a campaigning topic for them to attempt to use. When faced with real science the house of cards falls down in a heap. You could know this is you chose too. Ever watch some of Monckton's interviews with eco-nuts? That's the kind of people that agree with this insanity.

  • @007CTHULHU007

    >>"You would know this if you had studied more and paid less attention to insane bastards like this guy."

    - no i studied enough, i'm also self-taught in my profession, i have a reasonable claim to being some one who can think for themselves.

    I agree with this guy because it matches everything I know about physics/chem/biology. I reason about the processes and it all makes sense.

    MMGW/peak oil - connected due to atmos.regulation & why the oil was formed in the first place.

  • @walter0bz 1st world living that can't be matched? The only reason it may not be "matched in the future" are the liberal/socialist ideology that destroys economies and enslaves people in a Nanny State that can eventually become a totalitarian government where the people are treated like CATTLE...which brings us back to "sterilizing" people and killing their babies..apparently your evil beliefs. Yes. They are Evil BELIEFS. Communist China would agree, due to vaste population and Communist gov.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    no, 1st world living requires 9 'global hectares', there is 2 'global hectares' per person.

    current chinese *average* (not metropolitain) way of life is what can be sustained globally per person.

    Easy to claim you have 'freedom' when your military garantees preferential access to resources.

    (and yes I know if it wasn't America's military dominating the world it would be nazi germany, stalin russia etc).

  • @walter0bz Bringing up the "kids" that you wish to kill if they are a second child is just hypocritical absurdity. There is no "fair" in your beliefs. You have a limited incorrect economic view a well. Free Market Capitalism is the correct way to operate with as little bastard government interference as possible. The Great Depression was caused by government interference with the Free Market...and thus began the insanity and policies of destruction called "Liberalism/Socialism.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    yes, I believe broadly in free-market economics, but you also need to combine with common sense about absolute resources. true Capitalism starts with that, rationing Land via ownership. But the recent times have seen explosion of ponzi-debt, this is capitalism distorted. Also since the system is so big,average people can't really perceive or reason about the real limits they face (e.g. my sister didn't even know oil is FINITE!)

  • @walter0bz You believe in fear tactics CREATED by incorrect political pseudo science made to gain power in government with the help of the terrified simple minded people that actually believe this nonsense. It's as simple as that.

  • @007CTHULHU007

    >>"You don't have to punish people for using a resource we HAVE NOW while we develop other sources. "

    - i say its wreckless / inhumane / making promises you can't keep to have kids with a fossil-fueled lifestyle, bringing them up with expectations of 1st world living that can't be matched in future.

    Its' not fair on the kids.

    so many peeps born into locations where they simply can't survive without oil. Helpless. No land or resources to apply their labour too.

  • @007CTHULHU007

    >>"What do fossil fuels have to do with anything except"

    -i'll try again, we use fossil fuels to make more food (or use it more efficiently via trade/supplanting manual labour), this has enabled population to explode, while the fossil-fuels flow. Downside is, all those extra people face starvation (or fight to the death for food) when the fossil-fuels deplete.

    BILLIONS,not millions will die. Completely inevitable.

    More humane that they're not born, I say.

  • @walter0bz HUMANE? No. Have you watched "The Silent Scream"? If not you should shut your mouth...rather mind that's typing your words out. I'm not going to waste my evening arguing with pathetic uneducated human evil. You are wrong...so is GD Communist China....which killed 30-50 million of it's own people via starvation by the GOVERNMENT....look it up in history.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    ok so how about sterilization after the first child :)

    If china didn't have the one child policy, there would have been an extra 500million people needing food , shelter.. they or an equivalent number of China's neighbours would have died in resource wars, fighting to the death for food.

  • @walter0bz No. No sterilization of humans for any GD reason unless someone WANTS to be sterilized/tubes tied/tubes cut.This is an option allowed to people that desire it.You start trying to force it,then you're in for major trouble from the people. There's a reason we have the Right to Bare Arms as I said and people would bare arms against any corrupt government that tried to enforce such insanity upon them. At least in the U.S. where freedom is to be admired and is ESSENTIAL to our way of life.

  • @walter0bz If China wasn't a COMMUNIST State it wouldn't have the damnable need for a "1 child policy of Communist totalitarianism". Aside from that it does not control population and cannot even be enforced over the entire country of China. There population is still growing. They have poverty, due to their system of government Communism. They would be WORSE if they hadn't made quasi-capitalist reforms to their economy. They learned this the hard way.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    so you honestly think every countries population can just keeo growing?

    No China has poverty because they don't have the resources to achieve the western quality of life.

    American prospertity is NOT due to free market economics: it is entirely down to europeans settling an un-exploited continent (inhabited by hunter-gatherers at low population density), and hence having abundant resources. And sure, they discovered a new resource (oil) but soon it will deplete.

  • @walter0bz Resource wars? You mean the death that is caused by the eco-nuttery of using corn and grain alcohol as an "additive" to gas which accomplishes .NOTHING economically or otherwise.Aside from the fact that it takes food away that could have been used to feed millions of starving people around the world? You must mean that. Or maybe the millions that have died due to the ban on DDT,because they say it thinned Eagle egg shells. Or the ban on CFC inhalers that has killed hundreds of people.

  • "At LEAST 45 million people were worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million."

    "In one case 300 people had to strip bare and work in the middle of the winter on an irrigation site. There's nothing but the stick to force people to do work. Some people have their ears chopped off, their noses lopped off. The slightest infraction is punished by drastic measures."

    YES without the COMMUNIST they would NOT have...

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    I'm sure the chinese govt committed many horrors. USA govt has contaminated Iraq with depleted uranium. etc I doubt there's an innocent government out there.

    "worldwide death toll of ww2 was 55m" - yes - when oil depletes we may face this deathtoll *every year for DECADES*, or a deathtoll of billions in a single catastrophe such as nuclearwar. 4+billion will eventually perish as result of oil depletion.

  • @007CTHULHU007

    >>"which killed 30-50 million of it's own people via starvation by the GOVERNMENT."

    - if there wasn't a govenrment there would have been enough food ?

    didn't the communists gain power by overthrowing some previous regime ( or it was run by warlords before i think). Governments only survive if they provide best for their peeps or they get overthrown.

    eg communists in russia a reaction to oppresive tzars etc.

  • ...been SLAUGHTERED. The Communists under the influence of the U.S.S.R. took over via Mao after WWII much to the DEVASTATION of China's people and economy. This is history. History socialists and liberals like to ignore. You can't have an overthrow when you have millions of guns pointed at your head and you have nothing, but a farmer's shovel or hoe. That's RIDICULOUS. This is WHY we have Right to Bare Arms for the PEOPLE. China did not. They quickly disarmed the public of what they DID have.

  • @007CTHULHU007 -

    'china..'

    again, I'm not sure which of your 'slots' i'd fit. I am not a socialist. I'm seeking to minimize misery.

    Perhaps you're so 'right wing' that you prefer peeps to have as many babies as possible and then war for more land.

    I do not believe in redistributing wealth,but i do believe in restricting human births. i beleive most poverty is due to overpop, failing to keep people in ratio with land. But warlike peeps end up controlling resources. Perhaps better we go Extinct.

  • @walter0bz Corrupt EVIL governments survive through FORCE and PROPAGANDA against it's peoples. Free Republics survive by "providing the best for their people" by not getting in the way of their FREEDOM. End of story. End of point. I'm not arguing this nonsense you BELIEVE anymore for it is truly absurd. Truly CREATED propaganda. I suppose you can spam my commentary away with your delusion, but that won't change the Truth. Sorry. Goodbye..

  • @007CTHULHU007 Actually,

    if you listen to what he says carefully, you will find that he isnt really saying anything about politics. Do you assume someone who believes such catastrophes could occur is therefore necessarily worse than Stalin for some reason? Maybe someone could look at scientific data about the weather, nature, economy, demographics, etc... and genuinely believe its an objectively feasable possibility?

    I think your overreaction betrays more about your ideological fanaticism.

  • @wishcraft4u2 I listened a month ago and was replied to a month later by the guy below that wants to sterilize people that use gasoline. Fanaticism? I'd look at him and YOURSELF first.

    I assume that anyone that wants a COMMUNIST policy against all human rights as worthless wannabe intellectual moral-less scum/bastards.

    Maybe someone could look at things through a TWISTED INACCURATE sight and desire something that steals from our very nature as human beings. I think I have NOT overreacted.

  • @wishcraft4u2 I think I've reacted as it should be to such asinine EVIL policies. You people never think about VOLUNTARY anything in such matters. You would wish to FORCE people into them...and kill their children if they have more than 1. You're the "fanatic" here if you believe in such insane nonsense. That's perfectly clear. You desire a communist policy? You want GOVERNMENT to take control of private lives for "the good of idiocy"? No choice of course. No asking of course. Just FORCE...

  • ....force by certain FOOLS that you believe in with FAITH. This man in the video is a nut and so are you if you believe in him or anyone else that has such absurd BELIEFS. Socialistic nonsense. You think that would EVER be tolerated in a free society? No. Civil unrest would ensue...and rightly so. Go on believing nonsense if you wish, but you dare call ME a "fanatic". because I'm against the murder of unborn human beings? I would laugh if it wasn't so SICK. Good for you....extremist nut.

  • @007CTHULHU007 You really didnt listen to him. He actually mentioned that it wouldnt really be an option to base sound modern policy on this because "that is not what we are".

    Besides, its obscenely easy for you to speak like this while the bellies of you and everyone around you are probably more than full. Do you have the slightest notion of the sociology of major famines? People *will* put a prince on human life and it has *nothing* to do with political ideology, but with survival.

  • @wishcraft4u2 You aren't on the ignore for foolish self imposed stupidity list yet, but perhaps you will gain that dishonor now.

    Yes. I watched and listened to the entire video. The commentary that was replied to from me, however was over a MONTH old. As if I don't follow-up challenges to logic.

    He may say this, but he WANTS what he suggests. Dirty old CRAZY bastard that he is. Easy to speak? You know anything at all about me? No. Only what I type.What I look like, because I do not hide my pic.

  • Other than that you don't know WHAT I've been through in my life or seen in my life. Assumption is the Mother of ALL Fuck-ups.

    I know full well what kind of human behavior famine produces. Did you read any of my commentary aside from one or two posts? China is the example being used by ..others..here. China has poverty due to their Communist Totalitarian Government. Yes people when they lose all morals will put value to human life. Price not prince. China did it, because they control every...

  • ...aspect of their "people's" lives. If the people don't agree. If the people produce more or too little they are punished. It the people protest they are jailed in work camps or MURDERED. The problem isn't what you think it is. Population control by government is an answer that will NEVER be an answer and it has EVERYTHING to do with the political ideology of a country's government. Government limiting and CONTROL causes famine. It's not the ONLY cause of course, but it's the MAIN cause.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Survival is a government mandate for evil minority communists and socialists over a majority of people.People that are usually brain washed by their government. If they "rebel" they are killed, so,they just die from starvation if there is lack of food rather than die by a bullet in the head in these asinine totalitarian governments. Survival is controlled. You think 100 million people being worked to death, tortured, and starved by it's government is NOT political? Don't be absurd.

  • @007CTHULHU007 Another thing about your idea of survival being totally government controlled. This is only valid if it was impossible for disasters to happen that simply result in not enough food for everyone. What makes you assume this is impossible? Is nature just going to stop behaving according to laws of nature so we shouldnt adapt our policies, laws or moral codes? If it happened anyways, should governments completely abstain from policies on distribution? Then even more people die...

  • Comment removed

  • @wishcraft4u2 Survival being government controlled? What are you talking about? I'm talking about an old man, eco-nuts, and politicians believing in lies for the sake of it. The average "environmentalist" is a blind follower that when faced with the Truth can do nothing, but AVOID the Truth OR on very rare occasions admit they are WRONG.

    You skimmed my posts. Otherwise you would have read how these nuts are killing people via starvation right now amongst other methods all over the world.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Growth and methods to deal with such affairs if they should appear can be achieved without socialism(liberalism),communis­m, or little crazy old men spouting their senile ideas about the Earth and environment that do not coincide with TRUTH.

    Nature has helped to prove MMGW incorrect..along with REAL scientific data. Try the CFACT channel and Monckton. Belief does not equate into reality on this subject.

    You are avoiding the facts of this and making assumptions never a good idea.

  • @wishcraft4u2 I grow tired of explaining this when people can be OBJECTIVE and prove their selves wrong on this...if they just research the subject and don't blindly believe the words of a few "educated" fools.

  • @007CTHULHU007 lol Oh, right, you already explained this all before!

    Coincidentally, one of this happened on any public place on the internet, where it might be stored for viewing at a later time by people like me, I bet? :)

    Seriously though, you should of course discuss what you will. But it gets a bit... indignate when you just "hit and run" accuse someone of being worse than Stalin for worrying about the future of humanity, and then dismiss the idea that an explanation might be in order.

  • @wishcraft4u2 "none* of this" , not "one of this..."

  • @wishcraft4u2 For worrying about the future of humanity? No. For proposing things like a Communist "1 child ""solution"""? YES. I don't dismiss giving an explanation that's why you have a TON of them from my comments below. Don't be absurd....

  • @007CTHULHU007 Look man, ... Do you believe he came up with the gaia theory and global warming and peak oil from sheer imagination, so decades later, he could use these imaginations to conspire to push plan-economical measures? Thats just insane.

    Also, could you answer the question you ignored? *Suppose* that a major disaster would create the potential for global starvation. Should we just sit back and die because you feel it'd "communist" to take global measures?

    How callously fundamentalist.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Pretty much yes I do. That and false data or data that hadn't been challenged by more accurate methods that are now available. Environmentalists are largely fools. They are protesting the sludge oil pipline now which would be VERY helpful to this country now for NO EARTHLY REASON other than they call it a pipeline and make CLAIMS. Environmentalists have gone the way of CULTISM in the BELIEFS. There is no Man Made Global Warming. It's a political TOOL.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Global messures? I ignored nothing. I already told you measures by a FREE government would take care of any "policies" that needed implementing. Except they would be HUMANE and LOGICAL.

    Fundamental? No. Common Sense and Logic mixed with compassion for human life? YES.

  • @007CTHULHU007 Also, you clearly implied that you felt he is obviously in the wrong on a scientific level as well. Since you mentioned you were "tired of explaining this when people can be OBJECTIVE and prove their selves wrong on this" I even kept your precious all caps. Remember?

    Really, everyone who believes manmade global warming is a serious threat should just "think twice"?

    Really?

    How about you reference some sources and make your point like a grown person.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Of course he is in the wrong. His Gaia theory is INSANE. You don't have to tell me what I type, because I know what I type and I never B.S. to try to make people see the Truth. I don't lie or misdirect either.

    I also don't share the BELIEFS of almost every single eco-nut. Eco-nuts are so ....crazy..as I said they are CULT-like. Look up that pipeline protest video. They make some of the most INSANE claims it makes them almost impossible to talk to.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Yes EVERYONE that believes in Man Made Global Warming is a threat should THINK TWICE and look at the damn unbiased non-political SCIENTIFIC FACTS that prove it an utter absurdity.

    Really.

    Well you people never reference sources. What have you done, but make claims that CANNOT be proven unless BELIEVED. If you were big boy you could challenge your preconceptions and Beliefs have an open mind and prove YOURSELF wrong..easily. Quite easily. It's just people like you do NOT listen.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Instead you retreat and want to me to tediously look up online sources and try to annoyingly link them to you here. This is you retreating to your final hole in my view. Give up talking to me about this. You are wrong and so is that crazy old fart that puts such a LOW value on human life. Absurd foolishness is all it is...and perhaps a CULT.

  • @007CTHULHU007 At least he values human life higher than political ideology, which obviously can't be said of you. Apparently you'd get a great sense of moral satisfaction from seeing millions of people perish if the only way to save them would be "communism" (read: government planned socio-economical measures). Hey, at least they didnt die "communists", right? ;)

    How about you remember politics ought to be a function of human value and not the reverse?

    How you like that for a "retreat"?

  • @wishcraft4u2 Political ideology? I'm just a Conservative minded individual. It's the basic deal everyone gets until they are led to BELIEVE otherwise. It's just Common Sense and Logic. Conservatives value human life much more than eco-nuts who have at times "wished that there were no people on "mother" earth or "Gaia" hurting "her"" Talk about INSANE.

    I get no moral satisfaction from any such thing and you know it. I don't know about eco-nut's, however..actually I do. When DDT was banned...

  • ...when DDT was banned MILLIONS around the globe DIED from mosquito born illnesses not to mention other parasitic insects that carry deadly diseases. Why ban it? It made supposedly made Eagle eggs thin HERE in the U.S., and so it was denied to EVERY country in the world which killed millions of your "starving" "overpopulated" people. How about WASTING grain and corn on fuel that is NOT viable that could be used to feed millions of starving people around the world over a political LIE(MMGW)?

  • @wishcraft4u2 How about banning CFC rescue inhalers, because they "poke holes in the ozone" YEARS after we have proved that to be ANOTHER POLITICAL LIE. That affected MY family. The replacements were NOT properly tested by the GD FDA and therefor have killed hundreds if not thousands in the U.S. alone. It's all BUNK science that doesn't take into account the many other facts that destroy it as a theory.

    Yes, I value human life FAR more than any old nuthatch putting labels on human beings for..

  • ..for his IDIOTIC THEORIES. It seems that what you say is actually quite the reverse. It does more than "seem". It's how it really IS. Communism doesn't save a soul. It kills people that disobey the government. It enforces crazy ideas by "intellectuals" who don't know their own ass from a hole in the ground. Like this bitter old FART.

    Nothing places more value on human life than Conservative ideals. The people govern the government. This is how it shall be in the U.S. and it will not be changed.

  • @wishcraft4u2 I like it fine, because you don't even know the travesties your own beliefs have caused. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic for people.

    Conservative ideals are all about protecting and retaining the rights of the people...this includes their health and their lives. There isn't much else to say. You only know what you've been told, listen to, or read by the nutty side of the argument and that side LIES. They lie, because they think that's what's "best" for people. ASININE.

  • @007CTHULHU007 Ok, so people who aren't conservatives are crazy and lying. Right.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Twisting words? That's typical. Going to start ignoring what I type that's right in your face next? that's another liberal tactic they are using more commonly, because they have no points that cannot logically be destroyed in fair debate.

    Common Sense and Logic apply to a large amount of people. Not all people proclaim their selves to be Conservative. The only requirements to be Conservative minded is Common Sense, Logic, and the ability to tell truth from lie with facts.

  • @007CTHULHU007 and here,

  • @wishcraft4u2 African aid. I suppose famine has nothing to do with political dictatorships which steal aid money meant for it's people isn't political either? No. You aren't thinking. You're thinking is limited by what you BELIEVE and what you believe is an old man's absurd theoretical B.S.. Carbon trading bonus points? This old man is INSANE. Those that agree with him are just about on his damn level. Thank God it's a minority.

    Thank God we have Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect us.

  • Not to mention those of us that "cling to our guns and religion". This is ALL about politics. ALL of it. Everything that old bastard says is with political intent. Absurd evil old man that he is. I can't make you see. One has to REALIZE the absurdity of it all on their own...or just follow fools like this blindly into the pit of degradation and chaos. It's asinine. Absurd. Lies. ..and is most DEFINITELY political. That old bastard is crazy as a shithouse rat and MOST people can see it.

  • @007CTHULHU007 If you "cant make me see", isnt that because your point of view lacks any objectivity? If you'd have reason to be sure couldnt it be demonstrated?

    Anyways, he's just making scientific claims. He could be wrong but, how are you so sure he is wrong out of malevolence that you would condemn him so? Do you even feel the need to look at his arguments?

    It's almost as if you believe your political morality somehow prevents such disasters from happening, as if it were a force of nature..

  • @wishcraft4u2 Objectivity!? LOL As if I lack it, because I tell you the FACTS and you fail to search for them yourself? I think not. I have observed both sides of the coin for over 2 decades now. I've learned history and politics. I know what's RIGHT and what's WRONG. I know what is FACT and what is FICTION. Demonstrate? Demonstrate WHAT? Science has proved your points wrong. Only POLITICAL Leftist/Socialist "scientists" with an agenda still believe in this nonsense.

  • @wishcraft4u2 How am I so sure? By researching into this subject myself. By watching as ignorant fools go out and protest this, then get interviewed and are found to be utter fools that know NOTHING about it their selves. All they do is follow the leader. Watch some of Monckton's interviews I have in my favorites of people like this...or just look them up. Look up what unbiased scientists say about this quasi-science religion. How about 30,000 scientists suing Al Gore over his LIES?

  • @wishcraft4u2 I've listened to this crazy old bastard. He's a crazy old bastard. That's all he is. Sheeple follow his BELIEFS with no factual data to support it. Have you ignored everything I've written? Disasters? WHAT disaster? Like the disasters I've already mentioned CAUSED by people like this crazy old fool? I think you need to do more than skim my posts.

  • @007CTHULHU007 btw, I realise you are probably trolling, but I simply think there is virtue in debating important things like this. Just so you know. If you are genuinly not trolling I guess I apologise for the assumption, but you might really reconsider your style of debating... It doesnt exactly come across as intellectually well-groomed and openminded.

  • @wishcraft4u2 Trolling? LOL Yes try to discredit with that B.S. Sorry I don't troll. If you think because of the number of posts I make it's trolling ...no. I post factual commentary and you want to call it trolling? It's just your way of RETREATING from an argument you cannot possibly win. You are just WRONG...as is that old bastard.

    "Intellectual"...now there is an overused blown up word by eco-nuts. You really really need to set your mind on the correct path. I submit it is you that lacks..

  • ..."objectivity". My style of "debating" is telling people the truth of the matter even if it takes a page of posts...and it does to actually get anywhere and not just make claims as ....some....do constantly.

    My mind is open to facts. It's open to history. I take have as I have said MANY times taken in both sides of this "debate" if you can call it that and found eco-nuts..to be ...eco-NUTS. You have people just listening to one or two people or a pathetic movie and believing it as fact...

  • ....just because they heard or saw it displayed or spoken of. They don't check the real data. They don't check history. They don't check their facts. I do. If this is threatening as I see it is...oh well. I'm not a blind sheep that's going to go along with politically motivated nonsense.

  • Few policy makers listen to this guy. Few people listen to Lester Brown, or David Suzuki, or any other of the dozens of scientists who tell us we can't continue as we are.

    And because of this, we will all suffer.

  • it's nice of james not to criticize the 'burns.

  • hahahah what the hell are those sideburns hahhaha

  • I cannot stand this old Lovelock dude. Talk about bait and switch. On one hand he talks about his Gaia Hypthresis and how the earth is a living organism---which it IS. Ancient peoples knew this, But on his other hand--money hand--he is an apologist for the nuclear industry!! Checkout what his beloved industry is doing to Japan and the world right now. But he down plays the danger and says radiation in Cheynoble made plants grow good!!!

  • Lovelock for high king of earth..

  • fascinating.

  • Krahl123; naught wrong with a pair of chops bud. wear 'em with pride, although saying that they have got away with him. that aside Mr Lovelock has to be one of the best example of holistic creative problem solving, divergent thought and a all round nice bloke, i want him to be my Dad!

    China is neither green nor clean. It's a major polluter that promises to clean up its act — someday.

    Doyle McManus

    China burns more coal (by far) and emits more greenhouse gases than any other country. It sells more automobiles than any other country too (it passed the United States last year). And all those bad numbers are still going up, because China's No. 1 goal is increasing industrial production, not protecting the environment.

  • Great interview.

    And great example of how not to grow sideburns.

  • Brilliant man.

  • I hate James Lovelock. His theories are only hypotheses.

  • @Robert80z

    most theories are nothing more than that, being they cant prove something out of reach. Bible is a huge theory, no one can physically prove God exist -- but that don't stop millions from believing in him. Odds are, you do too. Which makes you a hypocrite for judging a person based on his beliefs.

  • No matter how people with their own short-term interests ridicule this man and his very useful theory (WAY OF THINKING) about Earth---it matters! Profit is a cancer on a living organism that sooner or later has to go. Thanks for posting.

  • Lovelock does not have a scientific theory,he has a religion.With all of his doom-saying,isnt it interesting how the quality of life for the majority of people continues to slowly improve.In regard to "Global heating",three quarters of a degree centigrade over 150 years is "heating" is it?What a fool!

  • @timobrienwells Scientific theory is also a religion! In sum everything is religion. You have to believe in a theory as well to test that until it becomes 'truth'

  • Quran

    (99:4) On that Day it will relate all her news,

  • @TheDrDaud sorry mate we are discussing climate change, not earthquakes.

  • @TeoTanek

    that was in regards to earth being an organism.

  • @TheDrDaud Allah knows nothing about Gaia, for he is a delusion of some 7th century fanatics. Sorry dr draud, besides the bible and the quaran have been used to support so many, and even opposite, ideas . Those quotes allude to earthquakes, and it is your preconception what makes you find a gaian sense in phrases written by people that ignored the existence of cells, not to mention homeostasis. Anyway I think that if we want to solve this urgent issue, we must use science not religion.

  • @TeoTanek

    so you are saying that the God who created this world is ignorant about science. Religion leads to the understanding of truth, the truth in everything, from science to reality.

    the very first verse revealed of Quran was "Read/reflect, in the name of your Lord who CREATED"

    So reflect on the creation, do what you call "science" you'll find the answers already in Quran.

  • @TheDrDaud No, I am saying that those people who worte the quaran were ignorant. Religion leads to submission, cohertion, power, and fanatism. The quran has some answer, with no evidence at all, to some problems, like who is god, what he want's us to do. However we all know that god, means US under a shade of divne truth. By the way does the quran explains how to do a heart surgery ? how to build a nuclear reactor? how to fly a plane? so maybe science is better way to understand the world.

  • @TeoTanek

    Exactly. The person whom quran was revealed was illiterate. He could neither read nor write. Its his companions that memorized the words and wrote it down. Quran is a book of realities not surgery, construction, or flying lessons. Besides these are things the knowledge of which is encouraged to seek as the Prophet then said "seek knowledge even if u have to go to China". Islam encourages religious and worldly knowledge. Read the "aboutme" section in my channel to undrstnd submission

  • @TheDrDaud Look atheist don't belive in any god, not because they want, because there is no proof to belive in any god, no matter if he is yavhe, allah, vishnu, Inti, Zeus or Thor. None of them exists, and if they do, they are useless. The world continues to be a fucking horrible place to live in, and your religion only adds more misery to people, specially women, atheists and homosexuals. Read plato's Eutiphro dilemma were Socrates shows how god is not the origin of morality.

  • @TeoTanek

    u've turned life's temporariness into something as insignificant as a cigarette. There is enough proof that God exists. Evry action that u do requires thought(consciousness) which changes into electrical impulses in brain --> makes you move your muscle to do anything. Similarly, a particle cant exist without it being in someone's consciousness. The existence of the whole universe proves an infinitely powerful consciousness beyond our own who is constantly thinking it into existence.

  • @TeoTanek

    morality should be an instinct of our consciousness that belongs to God. We loose morality as we grow up. We are born with a pure soul installed with morality. This is the islamic belief.

  • @TheDrDaud No, morality is not pure or divne, is just human, weather you can or can't drink alcohol is just a local custom. However you are right by saying that we have an moral instint, due to the evolution of our ancestors's social groups. Like the taboo of killing, wich is extracultural.

  • @TeoTanek

    you may call yourself atheist but like it or not there is always some gods that you follow when you don't follow that one God.

    you can never say that you don't follow god. Your ego, money, lust etc they are all false gods as Quran states. Islam is submission to One God, which leads to spiritual perfection and conditioning of our soul to either perceive the life after death as heaven or hell. You are conditioning yourself with relying on false gods which can't give you anything.

  • @TheDrDaud One thing is belivieng in a false prophet, another thing is greed or the pleasure of the material world. I don't spend my days praying to my savings or my car, I just use them, they are tools to my desire. If what you mean is that I build my life around money or lust, instead of god, you are wrong, I build my life around myself and the people I love, instead of mahoma I have curiosity as my guide. The fact that you are muslim is just a geographical coincidence

  • @TeoTanek

    to say that Mohammad (PBUH) was a false prophet is implying that you do believe that prophets came. "they are tools to my desire" The difference in submission and your way is that I can do the same thing too but in the limits of God's desire. The way you are living your life you've made life insignificant. Will be hard to explain here in small space. Curiosity is good and Quran has encouraged "reflection" more than 100 times in Quran on the reality of this life and creation.

  • @TeoTanek

    like i said before, the VERY first verse revealed to Prophet (PBUH) was "Read/Reflect, in the name of your Lord who created"

    We are here to represent God (his attributes), the more we condition our soul to represent God. You'll find this truth in every religion (hinduism, sikhism, bahai, judaism, christianity, buddhism etc). That truth is Submission-->Purification->Enl­ightenment

    After studying christianity and hinduism, the most pure(imp for conditioning) religion i found was Islam

  • @TheDrDaud I am courious not because a book recomends me to do so, just because I like it, I like knowing more. The problem of islam is that you devote your entire life to a delusion, that can easily become fanatism. I know most msulim are decent people, and very fond of some humanitarian values, like helping the poor or the ill, however women, aetheist and homosexuals face persecution. Tell me Daud, could you kiss me in a muslim country, could you say you don't belive in allah, why?

  • @TeoTanek

    i don't want this to sound like a debate where im forcing my understanding to you. I only tried to instill more curiosity. Watch the video in youtube, Primacy of Consciousness(its not by a muslim).

  • @TheDrDaud Look, I know my life is insignificant, the universe is enormous and my time a glimpse, however that dosen't mean I can't find my way without a god. Drdaud deep you know that the fact you follow islam is just a coincidence, you were born after the 7th century and in islamic family. God as one was first invented by the Zoroatrians and every since century after century people have claimed to be son of god, prophets,etc, Mohammad, Moises, Jesus were succesull, others didn't.

  • @TeoTanek

    Abraham(A.S) was around 2000BC

    Noah(A.S), who came long before Abraham also preached monotheism.

    Zoroastrian came even long after Moses (A.S) who came around 1300-1400BC.

    I've read bhagavat gita of hindus, their concept of submission, purification, enlightenment, heaven, hell, etc is similar to judeo-christian-islamic religion.

    124,000 prophets were sent to different nations in different timeline. Some are mentioned in holy books some aren't. Hindus were sent messengers too

  • @TeoTanek

    Abraham was around 2000BC

    Moses was around 1300BC

    Zorastrians came long after.

    there were 124,000 prophets sent to different people in different timeline. Only 4 were given books as words of God, others only received knowledge. Differences in today's religion is only because of people's own distortions in it. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet.

    Persecution of women is not in islam. You can't judge Mercedes by retarded drivers.

    Apostasy is allowed in quran.

  • @TheDrDaud but homosexuality is punished by law, and women can, and it is a sura be raped by her husband, in some countries women can even drive a car. Anyway, go ahead, Allah is mercyful and mohammed is his prophet, they are the truth.

  • @TeoTanek

    why is it that even Godless societies have laws against adultery?

    the same way how adultery destroys the morality in society, homosexuality is even worst. It eliminates shame and promotes immoral vanity. An act of reproducing is transformed into perverted act of filthy love (anal sex). Islam even severely forbids anal sex with wife.

    Homosexuality is immoral, unnatural and against the purpose of one's creation.

    Bring me the verse where woman can be raped, i'll behead myself I SWEAR.

  • @TheDrDaud You see your religion is inmoral violent and impious, it promotes bigotry and hate, there is not a single argument against homosexuality, but muslim countries persecute homosexuals, who are the perverse those who find love in a different way or those who punish with death, jail and intolerance ?

  • @TeoTanek

    after giving you an argument against homosexuality( you still go on and say theres not a single argument......well then there can't be any argument with a person like you. You are not seeing the consequences on a bigger picture... on a society level. Your approach is individualistic yet you can't seem to see how this individualism is affecting the society. You've even turned love into perversion and material lust.

  • @TheDrDaud who does homosexuality affects society, tell me? why two men kissing can destroy a society? Look countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Holland, etc have very open minded people, and liberal laws, including same sex marriage, they live longer, better, they can chose to what to study, who to love, they don't have to worry about health, education because it is efficient and good, and you what they have a far superior quality of live that those poor islamic dictatorships,

  • @TeoTanek

    By talking with you i've noticed that all the prejudices that you have against islam are not based on your own research but what media has fed you with.

    you have not read a single bit of islam and have assumed what people are doing or what media is saying, as a teaching of islam. How can you even think that you have argument against islam when you haven't studied it a bit yourself. Your trust in media shows how gullible you are. You don't know a bit about islam.

  • @TheDrDaud Look I have read some chapter of your sacred book, however boring it is I will try to read it one day, anyway I read other books who analyse your religion, ie Michel Onfray's treaty of atheology. I don't care about your religion, I care about you and people like you. You say I have prejudices, I have them because you persecute and kill innocent people in the name of an illusion, you say I trust the media, but when you face the inconsistency of your god you insist in foolishness

  • @TheDrDaud Even though many countries are secular, their law is based upon christian or muslim law, however as countries become more detached of religion, specially in politics slowly those regulations fade.

  • @TeoTanek

    woman can't drive car, yeah thats right, its the law in saudi arabia.

    Once again, Don't judge a mercedes by retarded drivers. Theres nothing in islam where women can't drive.

  • @TheDrDaud and they have to cover their bodies, and are stoned if raped, and can't study in universities. Further more, in the name of islam and morality isn't freedom of speach restricted ? Tell me dr daud how can a group of ayatollahs decie who owns the right to speak?

  • @TeoTanek

    in christian bible or torah (im not sure) its written that shave the heads of women who don't cover their hair.

    Uncovered women who display the shapes of their bodies spread shamelessness and immorality in society. Covered women are seen with the eyes of respect, dignity and shame, while an uncovered women who dress to attract or wear tight clothings are seen with the eyes of lust and society indulges in immorality. How? just reflect on the consequence and how that shapes standards

  • @TheDrDaud So I am influenced by the media? however you just think as they display, the media shows how women are forced to dress as if they were a shame, of course you can't think outside of your prisioner morale, but how can you judge me for the image I have from the media and inmediately after repeat essentialy the same they display as your ideas?

  • @TeoTanek

    so ur back again to waste my time.

    Women are forced to dress. Have you ever asked a covered muslim woman in usa whether she is forced to dress? Majority of women do it because they want to do it. They don't want to be looked up with the eyes of lust but respect and dignity.

    Covering is a social law in Islamic countries because it keeps immorality low. Whatever that affects the society by an individual is stopped by social laws.

  • @TeoTanek

    those who do not like this law may move to another country where walking around with cleavages exposed and curves highlighted like bimbos attracting lust.

    Don't cheat yourself, you yourself know that when such a woman pass by, you do check her out. Subsequent exposure to such things makes men frustrated. Its natural. Men are made this way. And you know it that its a strong attraction. Besides this law even men and women are ordered to lower their gaze in quran. Its not a one sided law

  • @TeoTanek

    since the beginning of 19th century and the invention of new forms of media, the west has only spread and promoted shamelessness in the world, making it a norm and a standard worldwide. Before 19th century, even the Godless countries like China, japan, and others used to have their women wear baggy clothes. The indian women used to be much more covered and shameful. Its only the west that has made nakedness a norm and being covered an oppression.

  • @TheDrDaud look in japan women and men bathed toghether, of course naked. Of course our tradition chaged as we realized that the oppression whe chosed was just a custom our societies, that we could change.

  • "they are stoned if raped" once again bring proofs from the teaching of Islam, not the works of people. When you point at a religion, don't bring retards in. It is a duty on both men and women to seek knowledge, its compulsory. Its in Quran and Prophetic sayings. A man who tries to research or says something contrary to the official holocaust story gets put in jail for life yet those mischief makers who only try to cause instability in nation or insult religion are practicing freedom of speech?

  • @TheDrDaud I don't care if islam says women should be stoned if raped, I care if people in the name of islam do it, because they won't change because the book dosen't say so, they will do it as long as women are percived as inferior to men, and source of lust and evil, wich islam continously denotes.

  • Very interesting, I think that its too later to turn around the changes. People never change until something big happens.

  • Those side burns just look plain silly.

  • @Krahl123 .....go on....kill the messenger & ignore the message. THIS is why we're in trouble because so many R still shallow, vain, materialistic, obsess w/looks, & the lot. Is this the BEST the lot of U can do, make fun of others doing something constructive, trying to educate, enlighten & wake up your "sleep walking" brain...if U even have one?!!! Is this how U get your kicks...didn't your parents tell U if U can't say something "good" say nothing at all?!! How sad U find it fun to mock him!!

  • @Aprize0 I didn't ignore the message, i just simply said his side burns were silly. if anyone is vain, materialistic and shallow, it is him, because he spends an enourmous amount of time styling and shaving his hair in an attempt to look more appealing. He should save time and resources and not shave his beard like that.
