I know you are a pretty intelligent guy and a lot better versed on the political front. I would love to read your thoughts on the subject. I am reading that Al Gore, etc. have a lot financially to gain on this platform.; January 11, 2010 at 11:49 AM

There has been much writen recently todebunk the global warming myth per se, and, in particular, man's purported culpability for it. However,if you want to be well informedon how "Mother Earth" self-regulates the environment,you need look no further than "Gaia," (Greek for "Mother Earth" by Dr. Owen Lovejoy. I read it some 30-odd years ago when I was devouring every thing by Sagan, Johanson, Gould, et al, in my quest to affirm my own cosmological beliefs.

Lovejoy explains the various systems which keep the Earth in, to keep up the "Mother Earth" anthropmorphicization,in a state of homeostasis.It is written by a world-class Earth scientist but targeted to the layman. In short, he will convince you that the enormity ofthe various systems is such that the effect of mans' activiites, in the aggregate, is rather like that of an infant pissing in a well chlorinated, olympic sized swimming pool.

If memory serves me, it was among some of my old books I donated to the Camden County Public Library years ago. They may still have it. If not,you can probably pick up cheap, usedcopies on-line.; January 11, 2010 at 12:32 PM
Jay Moreno said...: As you were. The title is "Gaia," but the author's name is James Lovelock, not Owen Lovejoy. Nowlet me think, who is Owen Lovejoy?

You might also want to Google "The Gaia Hypothesis."; January 11, 2010 at 12:42 PM
Jay Moreno said...: Duh! How could I forget? That's C.Owen Lovejoy,the famous anthropologist who studied under the equally famous Claude Levi Strauss.; January 11, 2010 at 12:47 PM
