Don Surber:
Sir James Lovelock, whose theory that Earth is Gaia -- a single, self-regulating organism -- spent fifty years predicting man's sin of materialism doomed us all.
Now at ninety-seven, he finally has admitted that is a load of crap.
Read the whole thing. I note also this part:
Lovelock maintains that, unlike most environmentalists, he is a rigorous empiricist, but it is manifestly clear that he enjoys maddening the green movement. “Well, it’s a religion, really, you see. It’s totally unscientific.”
I was writing many years ago that environmentalism is a religion in its own right, and I wasn't the first. Freeman Dyson and Michael Crichton said so, too (though Dyson approved).
