2006/07/03: BBC: Global warming: Crisis for Earth?
The BBC is to gather expert evidence this week
on whether human-induced climate change is a crisis
for planet Earth, as James Lovelock believes.
The originator of the Gaia concept wrote in his recent book
"...the fever of global heating is real and deadly".
He says nuclear power is the only short-term way to provide
enough energy without causing more climatic harm.
The BBC has commissioned a panel of scientists to review
Professor Lovelock's evidence and opinions.
