And yet the environmental crisis is only getting worse. In <I>Surviving Gaia’s Revenge</I>, the eminent scientist James Lovelock argues that the earth is lurching ever closer to a permanent “hot state”—and much more quickly than most specialists think. There is nothing humans can do to reverse the process; the planet is simply too overpopulated to halt its own destruction by greenhouse gases.<P>In order to survive, mankind must start preparing now for life on a radically changed planet. The meliorist approach outlined in the Kyoto Treaty must be abandoned in favor of nuclear energy and aggressive agricultural development on the small areas of earth that will remain arable.<P>A reluctant jeremiad from one of the environmental movement’s elder statesmen, <I>Surviving Gaia’s Revenge</I> offers an essential wake-up call for the human race.</DIV> 5745699 13 4 2009 The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning total:22|5:4|4:10|3:8|2:0|1:0| 22 84 61 8 4 1 false false Mon May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 07:02:59 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 19:43:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 05:04:07 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 05:19:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:16:28 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:25:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 19:14:45 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 19:23:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Aug 07 03:43:43 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 03:51:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 19:30:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:13:25 -0700 2009
