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.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.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.
