Looks like our Gaia is doomed…

From Vanderworld, I found this sad piece of news: Looks like James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, has determined that the earth as a living entity is doomed - that we have in effect exceeded its negative feedback (negating change from an initial goal state) processes that keep the world as a living system in balance.

Just as an aside - I truly doubt our computer models aren’t that accurate that we know this for certain. Then again, playing with the future of the earth is a bit dangerous for the truly insane steps we’ve been taking. There really is no insurance policy for that kind of thing if we end up exceeding the thresholds.

Remarkable this man’s view on the destruction of the planet. I see a lot of his views. Just adding to the pressure of being the most disgusting species on the earth.
