By The End Of This Century, Climate

We Live At A Time When Emotions And Feelings Count More Than Truth, And There Is A Vast Ignorance Of Science

I Know That To Personalize The Earth System As Gaia, As I Have Often Done And Continue To Do In This Book, Irritates The Scientifically Correct, But I Am Unrepentant Because Metaphors Are More Than Ever Needed For A Widespread Comprehension Of The True Nature Of The Earth And An Understanding Of The Lethal Dangers That Lie Ahead.

I Would Only Have Been Too Pleased If Someone Had Asked Me For My Data. If You Really Believed In Your Data, You Wouldn't Mind Someone Looking At It. You Should Be Able To Respond That If You Don't Believe Me Go Out And Do The Measurements Yourself.

Science Always Uses Metaphor.
