Lovelock: 'No podem salvar el planeta"

El professor James Lovelock, el científic que va desenvolupar la teoria de Gaia, que formula que tota la terra és com un sol organisme, ha dit en una entrevista a la BBC que "no podem salvar el planeta". Lovelock creu ara que només podem esperar que la terra es faci càrrec de si mateix davant la total impredictibilitat del canvi climàtic.
Prof Lovelock does not pull his punches on the politicians and scientists who are set to gain from the idea that we can predict climate change and save the planet ourselves. Scientists, he says, have moved from investigating nature as a vocation, to being caught in a career path where it makes sense to "fudge the data". And while renewable energy technology may make good business sense, he says, it is not based on "good practical engineering".
