Now if only the 'experts' on climate change would live sustainable themselves. But then again, they are 'special' people with 'special' privileges in modern society. I can't believe this guy. People migrating to England? Don't be an idiot. We have been bombing them the last few decades and immigrants are not welcome.
@Myodus Give me a break - we are all stuck in this FOSSIL FUEL world/economy - We will have to make huge shifts to wind, hydro and solar as societies not as individuals. The experts are scientists that study glaciers and the atmosphere etc. NOT engineers who own factories for building new energy sources.
Mr. Lovelock seems to have a solid grasp on the science of Gaia, but he's just out to lunch when he discusses human responses to the enormous climate and ecological changes now in progress. He talks about migrating to northern parts of Canada, Europe, and Russia. Who would that be but white Europeans and North Americans. Does he really think that billions of brown, yellow, and black southerners will let themselves fry while Brits and Swedes and others live?
@jimtrueblue99 You were not listening closely enough - No he is saying that peoples at equatorial and mid latitudes will need to move northward - many or most of these people being darker skinned. He mentions Chinese moving to Russsia. But of course what we will really have is huge refuge camps, starvation and war.
@ShalomYal I know exactly what James Lovelock means since I've read his books and listened to his lectures. He's still completely out to lunch about the human cost of the changes he predicts. The Chinese can't just move to Russia anymore than Mexico can just move to America or America to Canada. Hundreds of millions of people can't just migrate from place to place like birds; national populations are fixed in place, immovable. There is no place to go in a world of seven billion people.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Very intresting and alarming, all this incredible information seems hidden away frm the public...i guess they dnt want to scare people about the fact billions of people wont survie the coming years ahead, packed my bags i'm immgrating to sibera to continue the human race lol....
He doesn't explain his conspicuous omission of wind power - the form of renewable energy capable of making the largest carbon dioxide cuts for at least the next ten years. Solar thermal is over twice as expensive and doesn't enjoy the same economy of scale.
He dosn't really go over it here, but in his books he writes that in order to keep consistent energy output from a wind turbine you must have something combusting (fossil fuels). He feels that more CO2 would come from a running wind turbine.
@willwak Yes it is - there is plenty of wind available. Check out the harvard study released in the last few years. We only need to be ready to look at windmills and to build the grid infrastructure. Also solar thermal could supply us with a ton. Check out the plan to generate electricity in N. Africa and send it to Europe. Also - many tidal, wave and ocean current options. Down with nuclear.
It is a beautiful vision to think of this planet as a living organism that we are but one part... I'm sorry jesus Gaia is moving in and taking over...you had a good run but now your time is up, thank you for coming out and we as a species appreciate your contributions to our world. Let's hear it for Jesus, and the Church may you be at peace...
So long suckers! Alaska here I come...

@jimtrueblue99 Lovelock says maybe about 1 billion people will survive.

Wind power is a side issue. That's why he doesn't mention it. And I'm a fan but it isn't a global solution. Not by a long long way.

solar ?
we need to be painting things white to reflect heat away

wind power:
we used to use Windmills, and Sailing Ships.
its nothing new.
the issue is Fossil Fuels. peak oil+global warming = impending doom.
