Straight from the horse's mouth Natalie Solent (Essex) Opinions on liberty "I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while." So says James Lovelock, originator of the Gaia theory. Other than the fascism, Mrs Lincoln, he talks some quite good sense. For instance he says that "You need sceptics, especially when the science gets very big and monolithic." I presume he envisages a situation where sceptics are still allowed to talk but not to vote. samizdata.net
