Science: James Lovelock: A Living Earth
For James Lovelock, global warming is cause for an urgent global warning: If we don't see and feel the Earth as a living organism and remedy the harm we have inflicted, our planet could very well act in its own best interests and heat up to sheds billions of its inhabitants. Still, the prolific British science writer, who turns 90 in July, isn't yet giving up yet on Earth, or on us but he does suggest we act quickly. Lovelock is best known for formulating the Gaia hypothesis, which suggests that life sustains habitable conditions on Earth, with organisms interacting with and regulating Earths surface and atmosphere. The problem now, though, is that there are just too many organisms. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store.
