LOVELOCK LOVES BIG BLOCKS
Professor James Lovelock - Gaia’s boyfriend - asks that we keep our V8s rumbling:
If there were a 100 per cent cut in fossil fuel combustion it might get hotter not cooler. We live in a fool’s climate. We are damned if we continue to burn fuel and damned if we stop too suddenly.
So now Gale Banks (not inclined to stop burning fuel any time soon) is an environmental trendsetter. The shame!
Texas Bob, I hate to break it to you, but if we rid ourselves of all those pesky power plants, the question of how many squares of TP to use becomes moot.
Of course, they don’t mention what happens to Gaia’s forests, and the air quality, when we’ve rid ourselves of the power plants and people insist on burning anything they can get their hands on so they can cook their food and stay warm. Those 3 billion people won’t just go gently into the grave.
And speaking of the graves of 3 billion people: I suggest they read up on the problems faced by the Nazis as they tried to kill people as fast as they could. They only managed around 12 million and they had one hell of a disposal problem. Talk about pollution.
I wish they’d make up their minds. Global warming due to carbon emissions is offset by global dimming due to carbon emissions (which suggest to my mind that, like, you know, maybe the sun has something to do with global warming), so we have to stop these emissions, but we can’t stop them too fast or…
I’m gonna go make myself a sandwich and crank up the heat. It was cold today.
I met Lovelock, via his son at Uni, many years ago. An interesting chap then. Unfortunately, he is a case-book example of why one must discuss ideas with others, rather than develop them all alone. Your co-ideaologists will call you up on something bizarre.
He has no evidence or numbers or theories for his ideas, only one idea from which all eminates, via hand-waiving. A sad waste of a fine mind, rather an English excentric.

Now just wait a minute. You mean that crushing all fossil fuel burning vehicles (especially HMMWVs), shutting down all coal-fired electrical power plants, shutting down all industry, living in utter dark coldness, wiping up with a single sheet of TP, eating cold, raw mung beans, strictly adhering to the Law or Gore, and ridding the planet of 3 billion or so humans isn’t the answer? Well what then?
I’m stumped. No sooner than the morally and intellectually superior left chisels their edicts in stone, they go and chuck the whole scheme into the wood chipper.
That cinches it, I’m buying and Esplanade and driving around the circumference of Europe. Twice.
