Today’s Independent newspaper carries an indepth interview with celebrated scientist, James Lovelock who invented the “Gaia” theory thirty years ago.

His new book, called the The Revenge of Gaia is published next month. In it Lovelock argues that climate change has already past the point of no return and that billions of people will die before the end of the century.

On the Independent’s website, the Lovelock article is running opposite a BP advert saying “Its time to listen”.

Don’t you just love irony.
