confused[edit]

This is a confused and confusing book. Something to offend, regardless of your position. Maddening, since the topic is too important to ignore. 69.87.200.157 14:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In his recent book (The Revenge of Gaia), Lovelock cites a future history novel (State of Fear) as an example of Forecasts for the Twenty-first Century ... The public is much more likely to be influenced by writers like Michael Crighton than they are by scientists.(p.48) -- geoWIZard-Passports 20:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since it is not a work of fiction, despite its name, am removing one of the tags. Novickas 16:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

unfair criticism[edit]

The Criticism chapter depicts James Lovelock as a weird man, constantly predicting the world's end. In "The Great Extinction" he claims there is a small chance, we might get hit by a rock, and we should take an insurance against this possible damage. Moreover, the book is referenced in a commercial site : amazon.com. Not very neutral !

I agree, this criticism is not about this book, but about Lovelock in general. If it is sourced and verifiable criticism then it should be placed in the James Lovelock article, not here. I'll delete it now. --Hibernian 01:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
