Only Nuclear Power Can Now Halt Global

If You Start Any Large Theory, Such As Quantum Mechanics, Plate Tectonics, Evolution, It Takes About 40 Years For Mainstream Science To Come Around. Gaia Has Been Going For Only 30 Years Or So.

The Inertia Of Humans Is So Huge That You Can't Really Do Anything Meaningful.

Science Always Uses Metaphor.

I Know That To Personalize The Earth System As Gaia, As I Have Often Done And Continue To Do In This Book, Irritates The Scientifically Correct, But I Am Unrepentant Because Metaphors Are More Than Ever Needed For A Widespread Comprehension Of The True Nature Of The Earth And An Understanding Of The Lethal Dangers That Lie Ahead.

Those Of Us Who Consider Ourselves To Be Somehow Involved In The Birthing Of A New Age, Should Discover Gaia As Well. The Idea Of Gaia May Facilitate The Task Of Converting Destructive Human Activities To Constructive And Cooperative Behavior. It Is An Idea Which Deeply Startles Us, And In The Process, May Help Us As A Species To Make The Necessary Jump To Planetary Awareness.
