Because it nearly wiped us out, and because it shows how closely related we actually are. But far more people know of the asteroid vs the dinosaurs than the volcano vs the humans ... <br /><br />The premise for Dark Goddess sounds fascinating.Nandinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288011387138842112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330162401107493176.post-81745599330025776872010-04-19T19:12:42.381+01:002010-04-19T19:12:42.381+01:00That's me, you're daily dose of sunshine!
...That's me, you're daily dose of sunshine!<br />Janey, I do know of the book but haven't read it. What I did read was 'The World without Us' and while not dealing with the disasters that would make humanity extinct, did show how quickly nature would recover once we're gone. Pretty damn fast, basically!SarwatChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577624202222845929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330162401107493176.post-90424374241852782902010-04-19T18:05:39.595+01:002010-04-19T18:05:39.595+01:00Thanks Sarwat.

He postulates that when any of the core systems are knocked out of whack the organism will readjust itself to bring it back into harmony <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis" rel="nofollow">(homeostasis)</a>. It appears that the system is reaching crisis because of the negative influence of man. Lovelock reckons that part of the <i>readjustment</i> will involve a huge "cull" of humanity. Perhaps the Yellowstone supervolcano will oblige to give poor Gaia some relief.JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330162401107493176.post-69466186292773621302010-04-19T12:51:03.750+01:002010-04-19T12:51:03.750+01:00Abso-bloody-lutely terrifying!!!!Abso-bloody-lutely terrifying!!!!Gordy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030505640767293876noreply@blogger.com
