Too late to save the world?

I was looking at a blog I read from time to time, called How to save the world from the prolific Dave Pollard when a colleague alerted me to this article on James Lovelock's latest interview in which he is reported to be claiming that it's too late to try and save the planet. Two quite different perspectives on 'saving' our world. Pollard's is about searching for better ways to live and making a living and striving to understand how the world works. Lovelock talks of great uncertainty about the future of the planet and how little we can predict and control how we affect climate. I find both in their own ways are reminders of the complexity of life on this planet.
