James Lovelock, global warming godfather, erupts again, this time in favor of fracking, quoted here:
“Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They’ve gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it … Let’s be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it.”
He's not just in favor of fracking, he's in favor of science:
“One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don’t know it.”
Lovelock thinks the data show that increased warming has failed to materialize in the last fifteen years, calling the models he helped create into question.
