James Lovelock Quotes

It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion. I don’t think people have noticed that, but it’s got all the sort of terms that religions use...

Only nuclear power can now halt global warming Picture Quote #1

If we gave up eating beef we would have roughly 20 to 30 times more land for food than we have now Picture Quote #1

Science always uses metaphor 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 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

All the modelling we do shows that the climate is poised on the jump up to a new hot state. It is accelerating so fast that you could say that we are already in it Picture Quote #1

Geological change usually takes thousands of years to happen but we are seeing the climate changing not just in our lifetimes but also year by year Picture Quote #1

The big threat to the planet is people: there are too many, doing too well economically and burning too much oil Picture Quote #1

No one who has experienced the intense involvement of computer modeling would deny that the temptation exists to use any data input that will enable one to continue playing what is perhaps the ultimate game of solitaire Picture Quote #1

Those who fail to see that population growth and climate change are two sides of the same coin are either ignorant or hiding from the truth. These two huge environmental problems are inseparable and to discuss one while ignoring the other is irrational 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

Perhaps the single most important thing that we can do to undo the harm we have done is to fix firmly in our minds the thought: the earth is alive Picture Quote #1

We live at a time when emotions and feelings count more than truth, and there is a vast ignorance of science Picture Quote #1

Climate change now represents so urgent a threat to mankind that the only way to deal with it is by suspending democracy Picture Quote #1
