“British biologist James Lovelock says humanity is “Earth’s infection.”

I’m sure the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost appreciate that, Doc.

Lovelock is ninety? Using his own logic, he should have killed himself years ago.

And yet mankind in any appreciable density only inhabits “maybe” 10% of the earth’s surface, and SIGNIFICANTLY LESS if we consider the entire volume of the planet.

And we’re the problem?

If you think for a second about the paragraph above, you will soon realize how ridiculous Al Gore’s “global warming” scare really is.

God told me to take dominion over His creation and that is what I am doing. And the earth is far better for man’s dominion.

If he believes his own theory then why is he advocating interference in “earth’s affairs”? Why not just sit back and let Mother Nature Resist Humans? Why doesn’t he meddle so much. If Earth’s immune system is fighting us all off, then LET IT!

“We shouldn’t interfere with Earth’s Natural processes”
“We should interfere with Earth’s Natural Processes when it comes to artificially culling the human herd down to 1 billion people!”

WTF????!!!!

If he believes in Gaia so damned much then let her work her magic and stop bitching about it!!!!

What an idiot, in his own mind we are evolved from apes, which are part of Nature, by the transitive property WE ARE AN EXTENSION OF THE EARTH!!!! By screwing with our population to limit is we are doing just as much messing around with it as anyone who invents a new medicine to prevent a plague.

Some consistency would be nice.

Mankind does not occupy anywhere near 10% of the surface of the planet, 60% of which is covered by water. The entire human population of planet could fit in the state of Connecticut, our 48th largest state.

He says the cure won't come until the human tribe is trimmed back from its current 6.8 billion to, say, 1 billion people.

The standard New Age high sacrament, although many times it is given as a total of only 500 million, so Mr. Lovelock is actually being quite generous...

Google "Georgia Guidestones"

The Godless, New Age 10 commandments are carved into this monument on American soil.

Here they are for you who don't want to search:

MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE

GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY — IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE

RULE PASSION — FAITH — TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON

PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS

LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT

AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS

BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.

PRIZE TRUTH — BEAUTY — LOVE — SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE

BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH — LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE — LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

Click

Looks like we're well on our way to Utopia.

Or perhaps, we live in a world that is cursed as a result of the Fall, and there is coming a New Heaven and New Earth when all will be made right again!

Apparently Camus has fallen out of favor with the left. They no longer want to do anything significant with their lives.
