Lovelock is also a supporter of nuclear power is he not?

John,

Lovelock has softened his view:

 http://www.huliq.com/3257/climate-scientist-james-lovelock-says-he-was-wrong-about-catastrophic-global-warming

Something approaching the raw global temperature data can be had at NOAA: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/

 if you work at it a while :}  But it is still always better to plot the data yourself than just listen to the lads in East Anglia!   Also, insomnia just melts away..

Best,

Brad Keck
