O cientista James Lovelock, o da hipótese Gaia, não tem dúvidas quanto ao nosso (próximo) futuro - vejam a entrevista que o Guardian lhe faz: 'Enjoy life while you can' . As alterações climáticas são inevitáveis; ultrapassaram o ponto de não retorno; nada podemos fazer para evitá-las; irão ser a mãe de todas as catástrofes:
"Climate science maverick James Lovelock believes catastrophe
is inevitable, carbon offsetting is a joke and ethical living a
scam."
"Lovelock believes global warming is now irreversible, and
that nothing can prevent large parts of the planet becoming too hot to inhabit,
or sinking underwater, resulting in mass migration, famine and epidemics.
Britain is going to become a lifeboat for refugees from mainland Europe, so
instead of wasting our time on wind turbines we need to start planning how to
survive. To Lovelock, the logic is clear. The sustainability brigade are insane
to think we can save ourselves by going back to nature; our only chance of
survival will come not from less technology, but more"
"What would Lovelock do now, I ask, if he were me? He
smiles and says: "Enjoy life while you can. Because if you're lucky it's going
to be 20 years before it hits the fan."
Aqui, têm uma ligação para outra entrevista de James Lovelock, agora na Rolling Stone, sobre o mesmo assunto - a previsão é aí mais precisa sobre os contornos do que irá suceder (na sua opinião).
