Gaia for today

Mother earth, living breathing.

Is the earth itself a living organism, not just the "life", the green and the breathing stuff but everything the rocks the volcano, the tectonic plates.

Negative feedback loops, stabilize and control, Positive feedback loops create change rapidly. Tipping points exist when negative feedback loops breakdown or become positive loops.

Gaia hypothesis - is an ecological theory that proposes that the living matter of planet Earth functions like a single organism. It was first formulated in the 1960s by the independent research scientist James Lovelock. See also Lynn Margulis and Lewis Thomas.

What a great thought (or more that a thought). Let me believe and behave as the earth is life, please respectfully
