mosb1000 writes "Climate scientist James Lovelock claims it may be necessary to put democracy on hold to prevent a global climate catastrophe. He goes on to say that the best remedies may be adaptation techniques such as building sea defenses." Lovelock is famously the creator of the Gaia hypothesis.

    Bravo, ArcherB. I'd given up as a long time contributor for awhile due to downmods on the Global Warming "discussion". At least you're getting an "Insightful" mod.

    I declined to moderate even though I received points regularly and I recently dropped my subscription.

    It just didn't seem reasonable for me to continue to support a site that rewards alarmist theories/comments based on flaky evidence.
