James Lovelock Quotes

So-called ‘sustainable development’... is meaningless drivel Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we’re yet evolved to the point where we’re clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can’t really do anything meaningful Picture Quote #1

I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn’t surprise me at all Picture Quote #1

I’m a scientist, not a theologian. I don’t know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty Picture Quote #1

If it hadn’t been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space Picture Quote #1

Just after World War II, this country led the world in science by every way you could measure it, yet the number of scientists was a tiny proportion of what it is now Picture Quote #1

China will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution Picture Quote #1

Esso has been the main one in America spreading the disinformation that there is no global warming problem Picture Quote #1

Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia Picture Quote #1

Life does more than adapt to the Earth. It changes the Earth to its own purposes Picture Quote #1

This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war, and humanity were wiped out, the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief Picture Quote #1

We’d never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn’t been for space exploration and NASA Picture Quote #1

Our future is like that of the passengers on a small pleasure boat sailing quietly above the Niagara Falls, not knowing that the engines are about to fail Picture Quote #1

By the end of this century, climate change will reduce the human population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic Picture Quote #1

There aren’t just bad people that commit genocide; we are all capable of it. It’s our evolutionary history Picture Quote #1

NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station Picture Quote #1

Those of us who consider ourselves to be somehow involved in the birthing of a new age, should discover Gaia as well. The idea of Gaia may facilitate the task of converting destructive human activities to constructive and cooperative behavior. It is an idea which deeply startles us, and in the process, may help us as a species to make the necessary jump to planetary awareness Picture Quote #1

What we have lived through, the 20th century, has been like a great party. Adults now have had the best time humanity has ever had. Now the party is over and the Earth is reckoning up Picture Quote #1

What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: ‘Crumbs, have I made a mistake here?’ If you don’t have that continuously, you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service, but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours Picture Quote #1

I’m a scientist, not a theologian. I don’t know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. Revere and respect Gaia. Have trust in Gaia. But not faith Picture Quote #1

The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books - mine included - because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened Picture Quote #1

China will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution Picture Quote #1

Life clearly does more than adapt to the Earth. It changes the Earth to its own purposes. Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia Picture Quote #1

Climatologists are all agreed that we’d be lucky to see the end of this century without the world being a totally different place, and being 8 or 9 degrees hotter on average Picture Quote #1

I would only have been too pleased if someone had asked me for my data. If you really believed in your data, you wouldn’t mind someone looking at it. You should be able to respond that if you don’t believe me go out and do the measurements yourself Picture Quote #1

$Our planet... consists largely of lumps of fall-out from a star-sized hydrogen bomb... Within our bodies, no less than three million atoms rendered unstable in that event still erupt every minute, releasing a tiny fraction of the energy stored from that fierce fire of long ago Picture Quote #1$

Only rarely do we see beyond the needs of humanity, and he linked this blindness to our Christian and humanist infrastructure. It arose 2,000 years ago and was then benign, and we were no significant threat to Gaia. Now that we are over six billion hungry and greedy individuals, all aspiring to a first-world lifestyle, our urban way of life encroaches upon the domain of the living Earth Picture Quote #1
