BY PANOS PREVEDOUROS PHD – Professor James Lovelock is a world-renowned scientist and environmentalist who had a major impact on the development of global warming theory. As the Toronto Sun describes him: Unlike many “environmentalists,” who have degrees in political science, Lovelock, until his recent retirement at age 92, was a much-honored working scientist and academic.
In recent interviews Lovelock has made these rather starling declarations:
- He had been unduly “alarmist” about climate change.
- He’s been a long-time supporter of nuclear power as a way to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- He is in favor of natural gas fracking extraction because natural gas is a low-polluting alternative to coal.
- He believes that ‘sustainable development’ is meaningless drivel.
- He “can’t stand windmills at any price.”
- He “blasted greens for treating global warming like a religion.”
I am truly humbled to be in agreement with him, 5 for 5, with first five arguments: climate change, nuclear power,fracking, sustainable development and windmills. I have not yet written an article blasting greens (although I often refer to them as pseudo-greens) because I’ve been rather busy countering the railigious.

He's 92 so I'll almost forget him for sustaining the natural gas fracking extraction. This method pollutes a lot, even if doesn't have gas emissions.
The title is a bit misleading, he didnt create global warming, he only realised it was a thing
