The consilience between faith and Gaila

Our reoccurring issue with global warming is like a fashion trend that is just thrown off once it is used up leaving the designers with no hope in success. According to The Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock "...on 23 June 1988 he told the United States Senate that the Earth was now warmer than at any time in the history of instrumental measurements.....But somehow the sense of urgency about global warming heating faded in the 1990s". The history and future of our earth isn't taken as a joke but the warnings are being taken too lightly. Scientist and people like Mother Theresa are worrying about the well being of human life. What is the point of trying to save the human life with all this pollution and damaging we are doing to this earth if we don't even care about the form of life that allows us to live, earth.

Other planets like Venus and Mars have died off. You can heat it up in an 80 degree Celsius microwave and nothing will happen to it ; Heat the earth like that and the human race as we know it will be exempt from existing ever again. We need to listen to people like James Lovelock, Jim Hansen and Gisbert Glaser who all agree with the 'sustainable development'. The sustainable development is the continuous effort to balance and integrate the social well being, economic prosperity and environmental protection of this earth for this and hopefully future generations. Instead of listening to Mother Theresa and continuing to be 'tribal carnivores we should start listening to these warnings about what our life is and is going to become instead of brushing it off like a bug on your face.
