Climate Alarmist James Lovelock: Uh, never mind, it's all a bunch of hooey

Did you panic over Global Warming?

Well James Lovelock, the scientist who first espoused the "Mother Gaia" theory of human pestilence, has recanted.

"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," Lovelock said.

I guess the science isn't settled after all. Which of course has been blindingly obvious to anyone but Al Gore's misguided acolytes for quite a while now.

"The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time… it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising -- carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that," he added.

Nobody tell Lisa Jackson! She might have to let us keep burning coal for cheap electricity. Steven Chu wouldn't like that at all.

The polar bears aren't dying.

Himalayan glaciers aren't melting.

Sea levels aren't rising.

And those climate models? They aren't working.

Can we please stop pretending they are?
