More than 6 billion people will perish by the end of the century

James LovelockJames Lovelock, a famous “climate legend” and scientist, is being interviewed in the latest number of Rolling Stone. His view on climate change and its effect is downright apocalyptic.

James Lovelock says that climate change is now irreversible. He continues by predicting that the major part of the humans will get wiped out of the face of the earth due to wars, starvation, epidemics and climate chaos during the rest of the century.

James Lovelock estimates that by year 2100 there will only be around 500 millions people left who struggles to survive on the few remaining liveable places on earth: Scandinavia, Canada and Iceland.

“It will be a dark time,” Lovelock admits. “But for those who survive, I suspect it will be rather exciting.”
