If you read nothing else this year read this book:

The Vanishing Face of Gaia by James Lovelock.

Gaia casts the Earth as a self-regulating organism whose goal is optimal conditions for survival and the survival of life – though not necessarily human life.

James Lovelock is convinced the damage done since industrialisation has passed its tipping point. Global warming is accelerating ever more quickly.

He has got my full attention. I can only hope that our “climate bankers” pay more attention to this final warning than our monetary bankers paid to the warning signs about the economy.

Happy Earth Day!
