The folks who deny anthropromorphic global warming are of three types.
Shills, paid by the energy companies.
Religious fanatics.
People who don't want to change their way of life.
Which combination do you think best fits Lovelock? Yourself?
What effect do you think your unwillingness to face an uncomfortable reality will have on your children? Your grandchildren?
And maybe warming is normal. Do you see a difference between a car accelerating from 0 MPH to 100 MPH in 10 seconds, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week and one year? If that car had done that before in a year, and is now accelerating to that speed in 10 seconds, would you say there has been a profound change?
Can you answer simple questions? Can you stay with an issue? Are you able to adjust your view of reality to facts as they develop?
Don't bother. I know the answers. Just can't help myself sometimes, I just feel so superior not having to lock myself into the fallacies and fantasies of childhood, although they were more comfortable sometimes.
