Quote of the day: Global warming guru James Lovelock on why he was alarmist and wrong

‘I made a mistake.  The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing.  We thought we knew 20 years ago.  That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear cut, but it hasn’t happened.  The climate is doing its usual tricks.  There’s nothing much really happening yet.  We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world.  [The temperature] has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising – carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that.’ ~ James Lovelock
