`Gaia` scientist James Lovelock: I was `alarmist` about climate change
... And he also agreed with Lovelock that the rate of warming in recent years had been less than expected by the climate models. However, Stott said this was a short-term trend that could be within the natural range of variation and it would need to continue for another 10 years or so before it could be ...
