Dr. Stephan Harding - Part 4 / 10 - Gaia Theory & Deep Ecology

In 10 episodes here on YouTube Dr. Harding lead you into a new understanding of our beloved mother Earth. Earth, or Gaia as he prefers to say, needs to be taken care of now. The human rase is about to amuse itself to death on how we exploit the resources.

Inspired by James Lovelock (1919 - ) who is a pioneer and rolemodel in this field. He is an independent scientist, author, researcher, environmentalist, and futurist. He is known for proposing the Gaia hypothesis, in which he postulates that the Earth functions as a kind of superorganism.

This qoute from the great philosopher says it all: "All life has intrinsic value, irrespective of its value to humans" - Arne Naess, (1912 - 2009) RIP

Arne Næss was the founder of deep ecology. He is widely regarded as the foremost Norwegian philosopher of the 20th century

Dr. Harding is bringing it all together!

Why aren't the nations of Earth ruled by councils of highly intelligent and wise people like this? Why do we cater to the utmost dumbed down shit when there is so much that needs to be done to save our species, our subspecies, and our planet?

How does 'gaia' cause physical movement, e.g. how did gaia 'keep carbon out of the atmosphere'?

How can the Gaia hypothesis be falsified?

Is it not a superfluous teleological principle? Is it necessary to explain the world? It seems not. It's like the Victorian positing of 'Ether' - it's just not necessary, not true.

As a diver, i can confirm the existence of that temperature barrier between surface water and deeper water. It's called the thermocline. It goes down several degrees within only a few feet.

I will never look at a cloud the same way again! The fall of biodiversity empire is surely bleak stuff. The loss of compexity and in a non-linery way... Shit... The Danes might be moving to Norway in the next 30-50 years. See ya ;-) And thanks for saving the oil money of ours... Hehe
