Dr. Stephan Harding - Part 6 / 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!

our economic model is the biggest problem, we need to get used to living locally, building only what we need until we stabilise use and equality of resources. designing things to last, rather than the consumer model. develop non-chemical based energy resources. all of these things are blocked and held back by those who benefit most from these models, the biggest shareholders of the worlds largest companies, especially banking, oil, and the arms/war companies. where is the law when you need them?

i´m total against these kind of bioengineering where we don´t know the hole effect on the biosphere and more important we can´t reverse it! lets do something that we can controlle and reverse fast if it is needed like painting buildings white or decrease the sun input by satallits.

we should all get together and hate america with each other. maybe make a party out of it. I'll bring the soda but we cant open it because the carbon dioxide will come out. We'll have to just bury it deep below the earth's surface.

[brett2700]

is there any proof that the increase in carbon dioxide is the main reason for the heating and the melting of the polar ice caps or could this be a natural cycle of the planet? The ice age happened without help from humans.

Could we change the word to "invironment"? Or "intervironment"? Something like that?
