James Lovelock (born 26 July 1919 - died 13 March 2015) was an independent scientist, environmentalist and futurologist from England. He is best known for proposing the Gaia hypothesis, which postulates that the biosphere is a self-regulating entity with the capacity to keep our planet healthy by controlling the chemical and physical environment.
@wolfgang0070 He certainly doesn't appear to be "depressed" neither plainly nor simply, although like all great inventors I would be surprised if he wasn't a little bit of a nutter :)
@wolfgang0070 He is regarded as being "independent" because he doesn't work for a university or corporation. He works on the projects he cares about, and he is a fantastic scientist. What rationality are u talking about? Science isn't dependent solely on collaboration simply because good science doesn't depend on any single factor other than that the scientific method is observed.
It's funny how he refers to JPL as something that is barely known. I run around it everyday; my school is right next to it! I realize that this wasn't a point of his lecture, but it's amazing to be a part of something that helped him reach brilliance!
@wolfgang0070 hell he isnt! does he really strike u as a sad person? not at all! hes 90 years of age now, a passionate, independent scientist and enjoys walking 5 miles a day with his wife. this is what life can be about, real pleasure, intellectual challenge rather than plain consumption of goods of any kind.
This man is a dangerous lunatic! He wants to abolish all democracy and condemn humanity to enslavement to a handful of environmentalist dictators with the power to mass-murder millions of people Auschwitz-style in some horrid mission to "save the planet".

May his spirit rest in peace forever.

This is propaganda based on non existent scientific data.
