We all know that our beloved Al Gore got ripped off in the 2000 presidential election. His defeat has turned him into a Global Warming Guru. Could it be that he has turned into a flim-flam man? We already know that he doen't walk the walk. His mansion uses more electricity than the city. He took a limo 3 block at Cannes Film Festival. Now the true Guru says carbon trading is a governmental sham. But, we all knew that, except Al Gore.

One last chance to save mankind
James Lovelock. But the originator of the Gaia theory, which describes Earth as a self-regulating planet, has a stark view of the future of humanity. He tells Gaia Vince we have one last chance to save ourselves - and it has nothing to do with nuclear power
Your work on atmospheric chlorofluorocarbons led eventually to a global CFC ban that saved us from ozone-layer depletion. Do we have time to do a similar thing with carbon emissions to save ourselves from climate change?
Not a hope in hell. Most of the "green" stuff is verging on a gigantic scam. Carbon trading, with its huge government subsidies, is just what finance and industry wanted. It's not going to do a damn thing about climate change, but it'll make a lot of money for a lot of people and postpone the moment of reckoning. I am not against renewable energy, but to spoil all the decent countryside in the UK with wind farms is driving me mad. It's absolutely unnecessary, and it takes 2500 square kilometres to produce a gigawatt - that's an awful lot of countryside.
