James Lovelock has died
Fascinating that his Gaia hypothesis came after his research with Royal Dutch Shell. It’s amazing how early we knew fossil fuels were destabilizing our biosphere.<p>This man knew we were heading towards an uninhabitable world and screamed at the top of his lungs, but corporate growth was more important.  Persephone, indeed.<p>He may have walked back his prediction of earth being largely uninhabitable by 2050,  but I have a feeling he was only slightly off. The sad truth is that 50C is coming faster than you realize, and this man was crystal clear on the subject in the 1990s.
