At age 88, it's not uncommon for old scientists to get it wrong. Linus Pauling overplayed the vitamin C card. William Shockley overstepped the line on intelligence and IQ, making him look like a eugenics-Nazi. Prize-winner "Jimma" Carter's brain obviously receives inadequate blood-flow in his later years. Robert Oppenheimer went wacko on reining in the very nuclear power he helped create.
It is a fact that old brains don't function like young brains. Anything an old "expert" says should be taken with a grain of salt.

***...and that more than 6 billion people will perish by the end of the century... ***
Now THAT I believe. Of all the people living right now, at least 6 billion of them will die in the next 93 years.

At the age of eighty-eight, after four children and a long and respected career as one of the twentieth century's most influential scientists, James Lovelock has come to an unsettling conclusion: The human race is doomed.
Are we to believe a demented old fool who can't even figure out when he needs to change his grampers?

At Oxford, he once stood up and admonished Mother Teresa for urging an audience to take care of the poor and "leave God to take care of the Earth." As Lovelock explained to her, "If we as people do not respect and take care of the Earth, we can be sure that the Earth, in the role of Gaia, will take care of us and, if necessary, eliminate us."Even Lovelock's friends cringe when he talks like this. "I fear he's overdrawing our despair budget," says Chris Rapley, head of the Science Museum in London, who has worked hard to raise international awareness of global warming. And Rapley's into "population management."

One of the most eminent scientists of our time says that global warming is irreversible and that more than 6 billion people will perish by the end of the century IOW: The problem will fix itself. What isn't said is that the world's population stands now at 6,626,381,678 I can easily see at least 6 billion of these folks dead in 92 years whether or not there is global warming.

Yeah,yeah,yeah, we’re always doomed. This geezer is just mad that he’ll be dead before his expected doomsday arrives. In the 50’s and 60’s a staple of magazine cartoons was some loon standing on a city sidwewalk wearing a sandwich sign reading “The End Is Near!”. Now these clowns are on every “news” show.
I had the flu this weekend and I was sure we were all going to die. Now I feel a little better, so I guess mankind is safe for now.

William Shockley overstepped the line on intelligence and IQ, making him look like a eugenics-Nazi. Interesting you say that. Michael Crichton wrote an article noting the similarities of the GW hysteria to the eugenics "truth.
You can find it here.

Old Geezer article has to be from Onion...you just can’t make this stuff up: “I fear he’s overdrawing our despair budget,” says C.Rapley, head of the Science Museum in London, who has worked hard to raise international awareness of global warming. And Rapley’s into “population management.”

Crichton also skillfully presented the comparison between eugenics and GW hysteria in “Climate of Fear.” It is an outstanding hypothesis, isn’t it?
