I am afraid the blame for me changing from "live in a treehouse, squirrell eating, worm-composting, eco-nutter wannabe"...to.... "dedicated fan and exponant of NUCLEAR ENERGY nutter"...

Lies firmly with the influences of Phillip Bedford!

You see, During an outstanding debate on here about "Exhaustion of the planets resources" (see thread of same title) Phillip posted some links about the Climate Scientist James Lovelock, who's work I have briefly skimmed before but not read in depth.

On wednesday I got my hands on a copy of the "Revenge of Gaia"


If there is one thing you do this summer, read this book...steal it if you have to! but please read the book. It has changed my view on our future as a species and I believe it should be on every school bookshelf.

And thanks Philip " the scales have fallen from my eyes"

MM sounds good and a must have too
