the search for truth is a noble pursuit......

Dr. Lovelock appears to be on that path with regards to the Earth's biosphere future........

In that regard, he should be given our attention and contemplation of vallidating or not his evidence.

NWO != bad ... can bad can be good depending on the systems...

No one was shocked when the global population shot from 1 billion in 1945 to what it is now. I don't see why the reduction will be any different in terms of changing our lives in the west.

>>"they will be at the mercy of the guys with the guns"

agree.

so really *elite* = upper echelons of military.

>>"life for those left behind will be shit"

Agree.

This is all funny because IMO it *does* give credance to the NWO 'deliberate cull' type theories* I'm sure the elite *know* whats coming, and are making plans to maximize their *own*(&offspring) survival chances

*except most NWO-theorists think "MMGW = scam to justify genocide",

reality: "genocide=likely response to MMGW"

@willwak -

I gather some datacentres are already underground.

Note I said *computers* not today's web, although having said that didn't the internet originate as a communications network designed to survive war

if I was to plan a survival bunker, after food/water/energy i'm just thinking what my priorities would be.. books/paper/musical-instrument­s for "low tech/renewable" mental excercise (take up painting?) .. then computers/media.

I guess the sky's the limit with a big enough bunker

@willwak

I'm sure they'll remember to store amusements (computers, books, porn etc).

they'll be quite happy.

[walter0bz]

@willwak

they wont. they'll have survival bunkers, designed to survive nuclear wars, full of supplies

It's good that he simplifies the language, like saying reflection instead of albedo, but calling the glacial period an ice age is a bit much. (I love his work generally, though.)
