The creator of the Gaia hypothesis, James Lovelock, has died on the day of his 103rd birthday.
His family said in a statement:"Our beloved James Lovelock died yesterday in his home surrounded by his family on his 103rd birthday. "To us he was a loving husband and wonderful father with a boundless sense of curiosity, a mischievous sense of humour and a passion for nature."Up until six months ago he was still able to walk along the coast near his home in Dorset and take part in interviews, but his health deteriorated after a bad fall earlier this year.
After developing an electron capture detector, Lovelock was the first scientist to detect the widespread presence of CFCs in the atmosphere.
