More from the barking mad James Lovelock

Top British scientist says New Zealand should become “Lifeboat” for global warming survivors

ZEALAND(RUSHPRNEWS)10/25/08– Leading British scientist James Lovelock said in a recent radio interview in New Zealand that New Zealand is wasting its time trying to pass an Emissions Trading Scheme, or ETS for short. He said on the Radio New Zealand program during a 4-minute interview from his home in Cornwall, England that New Zealanders should put their sights on thinking of their island nation as a lifeboat for survivors of global waming events in the distant future.

“I think the role of New Zealand, similar to that of the UK and other island nations, is to be a lifeboat, because the world may get almost intolerable during the coming century,” Lovelock said. “And you see that happening already in Australia — the desert is spreading and things just won’t grow. And island nations like New Zealand will be spared that kind of damage.”

“New Zealand could lead the world by being the perfect ‘lifeboat’ and taking that just right number of people that you can support and feed and the rest of it, and doing it building proper cities,” Lovelock added. “That’s going to take the money and the effort. Trying to stop global warming is almost a certain waste of time.”

Lovelock, of course, is one of those scientists who believes global warming is now irreversible, and that nothing can prevent large parts of the planet becoming too hot to inhabit, or sinking underwater, resulting in mass migration, famine and epidemics. Britain is going to become a “lifeboat” for refugees from mainland Europe. He has repeated this warning to reporters on several continents and now he brings the same message to New Zealanders.

Lifeboat Britain. Lifeboat New Zealand. Lifeboat Alaska. Lifeboat Russia. Get ready.
