  • my panic about climate change is equalled only by my confusion over what I ought to do about it
  • Lovelock's apocalypse
  • it seems an unlikely coincidence that Lovelock became convinced of the irreversibility of climate change in 2004, at the very point when the international consensus was coming round to the need for urgent action
  • it's not clear whether his politics are the child or the father of his science

And eventually we'll have a human on the planet that really does understand it and can live with it properly. That's the source of my optimism."
