Thirty years ago, Lovelock planted 20,000 trees to create the much more biodiverse habitat around his home. But you suspect that, had this fiercely independent scientist and globally respected environmental thinker been around 3.8 billion years ago when life first erupted on this planet, he would have organised a similar notice to be placed somewhere prominent.
After all, Lovelock – now into his 90s but still fit enough to be invited aboard Richard Branson's soon-to-launch commercial spacecraft – is the man who first developed the "Gaia theory" in the late 1960s: the still-challenging idea that Earth is one giant, self-regulating organism whose equilibrium is being very much disturbed by the actions of one species. Lovelock has been warning with increasing urgency that the survival of that species – Homo sapiens – is now gravely threatened by the "Revenge of Gaia", the title of one of his more recent bestselling books.
He is billed as an Old Testament-style prophet for our times, predicting fire and brimstone for a damned generation if it does not urgently and radically change its polluting ways. But in person Lovelock has a becalming presence, even when firing off verbal thunderbolts at the various "dumbos" with whom we have bestowed our collective fate: namely, "the politicians, scientists and lobbyists".

More on the the man who first developed the “Gaia theory” in the late 1960s.
I believe that is precisely what Nobama intends to do.
So banal, so evil.
Fudging data is indeed bad, but it’s hard to sin against science. Science is a false deity.
Those who don’t understand science either ignore it or worship it.
His views on carbon emissions trading, as is being touted by the EU and others, are equally dismissive: "I don't know enough about carbon trading, but I suspect that it is basically a scam.
“We need a more authoritative world,” he says resolutely.”

Hmmm, that seems to be the operative thinking among the nazi leftists.
But the true Deity gave commandments that define sins against others besides Himself, one of which is “Thou shalt not bear false witness”. Sinning against science is a subtle breach of that commandment in which one bears false witness against His (material) creation.
The problem with guys like this is that for to long they had fueled false concepts that on the surface appeared to be viable. Now he can see some did not play by the rules.
I just met God’s material creation for lunch a few hours ago, and he says he’s not in the least bit offended, so there.
Now the science religion has sins. Who knew!
Ain’t he a clever guy, mixin’ metaphors like he sells house paint at an old-fashioned hardware store? :’) Thanks Ernest.
