Interviewed in the Guardian on the day of the IPCC´s latest report, Lovelock also praises nuclear power as "an extraordinary gift to humans" and dismisses criticisms of it as "propaganda"
...His remarks will infuriate those in the green movement who once saw Lovelock as a role model. Besides having invented "Gaia theory" , Lovelock was once at the forefront of the climate alarmism, warning in 2007 that "Billions of us will die; few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in Arctic."
However, in his 100th decade (Lovelock is now 94), he appears to be enjoying a new burst of optimism:
"We shouldn't worry too much about terrible disasters because they've happened in the past [when we may have been down to just a few thousand individuals] and we've come back. We are an extraordinarily special species, the first to harvest information."
