Smarter Video Review now playing for this product:

The Revenge of Gaia: Earth's Climate Crisis & the Fate of Humanity

From: $5.53

The key insight of Gaia Theory is that the entire Earth functions as a single living super-organism. But according to James Lovelock, the theory's originator, that organism is now sick. It is running a fever born of increased atmospheric greenhouse gases. Earth will adjust to these stresses, but the human race faces a severe test. It is already too late, Lovelock says, to prevent the global climate from "flipping" into an entirely new equilibrium that will threaten civilization as we know it. But we can do much to save humanity. In the tradition of Silent Spring, this is a call to address a major threat to our collective future.

Bad science incorrect facts and statistics underpinned by the ludicrous Gaia hypothesis . Luckily I will be around to see that he will be as wrong about the nature , magnitude and likely future impacts of Global Warming as he was in the 1970's...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 21, 2008 Type: User Review The Revenge of Gaia: Earth's CLimate Crisis and the Fate of Humanity

I liked the review up until the point when I read that Lovelock was "vigorously" advocating nuclear power as part of the solution to the earth's "fever" (global warming). Living in New Mexico where I have seen (and fought against) first hand...

This book should be a mandatory read for everyone who claims to be a member of the earth's "dominant species". The content is entirely readable for anyone with reasonable command of the English language. As one who has spent seventy nine years on...
