Looks like our Gaia is doomed…

From Vanderworld, I found this sad piece of news: Looks like James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, has determined that the earth as a living entity is doomed - that we have in effect exceeded its negative feedback (negating change from an initial goal state) processes that keep the world as a living system in balance.

Just as an aside - I truly doubt our computer models aren’t that accurate that we know this for certain. Then again, playing with the future of the earth is a bit dangerous for the truly insane steps we’ve been taking. There really is no insurance policy for that kind of thing if we end up exceeding the thresholds.
