James Lovelock - A Rough Ride to the Future

from The Author Archive Podcast · host David Freeman

This archive interview dates back to March 2014. Jim Lovelock was in his mid nineties. I was delighted to interview him. As I said at the time for me it was like meeting Elvis! He was energetic, effervescent and wise. His wife Sandy was in the front row and he shone with contentment. When the conversation started I had no idea we were going to end up talking about microwave ovens .... but we started discussing climate change. And then moved on to falling in love ! 2014 is not long ago but the full ferocity of the effect of the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hadn't really been felt in the way it has now. So what did Jim think?
