James Lovelock and Gaia
Published Thursday, November 29, 2007 by Dan Gainsford | E-mail this post 
So I'm sitting here trying to edit some new vids and write a blog.. and I'm being bombarded by amazing content. Here's some from Grant in Spain, I've always had a love for James Lovelock, until I once saw him promoting nuclear power as the only way forward. I dunno if that's still his stance, and I still love him anyway since I agree with the original Gaia Hypothesis. Anyway, article attached below Grant's intro email, peace,d

Dan, here is a great article for you. James Lovelock, if you don't know already is one of the most renown earth scientists on the planet and is the father of the Gaia Hypothesis, that the earth's biosphere functions like a living organism, with positive and negative feedback mechanisms. His outlook is big time doomsday, but he could just be right... notably he says, we shouldn't be talking about sustainable development, but rather, sustainable retreat. He thinks we are past the point of no return and we are fucked as a civilization. He predicts something like 6 billion deaths in the next 40 years... sobering to say the least. After all, the earth will be just fine without us... it has been for 4.6 billion years. His latest book pits the earth against mankind (indeed all life) in Revenge of Gaia.Peace,GrantPS. I forgot to mention the stark irony in the advertising below the picture of Dr. Lovelock. funny...Click HERE for article
