In the face of data, Gaia fails in its idea that the Earth is held at conditions optimal for life." which immediately precedes the quote about Earth being "too cold".<br /><br />The fact is that the past 4.5 billion years prove that Earth has been remarkably stable due to negative feedbacks exceeding positive, with no runaway greenhouse effect despite CO2 levels 20 or more times higher than the present.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-3519429524149550252013-07-26T19:43:24.020-07:002013-07-26T19:43:24.020-07:00Schlesinger's review goes on to say, "Tyr...Schlesinger's review goes on to say, "Tyrell warns us of the dangers of Gaia. Those who believe that our planet is self-regulating will lack any motivation to stem the growing tide of human insults to Earth's atmosphere, oceans and terrestrial biosphere from a rising human population with great expectations for well-being. These libertarians need to know that their belief is groundless. CO2 will increase in Earth's atmosphere as long as we add more of it from fossil fuel combustion than the oceans can absorb each year by Henry's Law."<br /><br />A self-regulating system would be in your favor, no? As you can see, by including more of the review, it takes on a very different shape. The abandonment of the Gaia theory, and any proposed self-regulatory system, actually does more to hurt your arguments than help. <br /><br />Use brain more, copy/paste less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
