The Earth's population will be culled from today's 6.6 billion to as few as 500 million, with most of the survivors living in the far latitudes - Canada, Iceland, Scandinavia, the Arctic Basin.

More quotes by James Lovelock
I wouldn't be against them (large wind turbines) if they actually worked.
James Lovelock
We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant. I personally can't stand windmills at any price.
James Lovelock
The climate is doing its usual tricks. There's nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now.
James Lovelock
By the end of this century, climate change will reduce the human population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic.
James Lovelock
I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful.
James Lovelock
I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
James Lovelock
I'm not a pessimist, even though I do think awful things are going to happen.
James Lovelock
Science always uses metaphor.
James Lovelock
There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.
James Lovelock
The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time... it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising - carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that.
James Lovelock
All the modelling we do shows that the climate is poised on the jump up to a new hot state. It is accelerating so fast that you could say that we are already in it.
James Lovelock
I've got personal views on the '60s. You can't have freedom without paying the price for it.
James Lovelock
So-called 'sustainable development' is meaningless drivel.
James Lovelock
No one who has experienced the intense involvement of computer modeling would deny that the temptation exists to use any data input that will enable one to continue playing what is perhaps the ultimate game of solitaire.
James Lovelock
If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space.
James Lovelock
An inefficient virus kills its host. A clever virus stays with it.
James Lovelock
The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful.
James Lovelock
Nowadays if you're dependent on a grant - and 99% of them are - you can't make mistakes as you won't get another one if you do.
James Lovelock
Civilization in its present form hasn't got long.
James Lovelock
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.
