End of the world nigh - it's official
'The dinosaurs dominated the earth for 160 million years. We
are in danger of putting our future at risk after a mere quarter of a
million years. The force of the Gaia thesis has never been more apparent.
When an alien infection invades the body, the body develops a fever in
order to concentrate all its energies to eliminate the alien organism. In
most cases it succeeds, and the body recovers. But where it does not, the
body dies. The lesson is that if we continue with activities which
destroy our environment and undermine the conditions for our own
survival, we are the virus'
