It wasn’t until I heard a podcast of an interview with him, about two years ago that I came to understand that it was, in fact, a scientific hypothesis which postulates that the biosphere is a self-regulating entity with the capacity to keep our planet healthy by controlling the chemical and physical environment. It’s definitely not some “New Age” Earth Goddess Bullshit as some have tried to make it out to be. Since then I’ve read more about Gaia and, unfortunately, I find myself agreeing with much of what Lovelock says, that’s why I’m often so depressed about what the future may hold for my kids! Anyway, I was anxious not to miss this program and so recorded it to ensure that I didn’t. I called Nat downstairs to watch it with Deb, Han and me. I knew nothing about Lovelock, other than that he was in his 90’s and that he’d originated the Gaia hypothesis, so I was astonished to discover that, in addition to this, he was the first person to identify the presence of C.F.C.’s (Chlorofluorocarbon) in the atmosphere and their effect on the Ozone layer. Score one for the Prof, saving humanity from mass death by skin cancer! Given this and his other contributions to science you can’t lightly dismiss what the man says just because so many people find what he’s saying unpalatable. This turned out to be a superb if deeply depressing programme!
Airplanes in the UK and much of Europe remain grounded after the Icelandic volcano erupts once again; Mrs Fry’s unlikely to stop tweeting ash jokes any time soon. Just when you were told it would be safe to go back into the air good old Mother Nature goes and screws with you by getting that naughty volcano to spew out a little more (actually a great deal more) ash. Some planes made it into the skies before the hammer came down yet again and everyone was told that they still couldn’t fly, it’s like a glimpse of the future…not the peak oil future rather the post oil future! No doubt some Twats will be seeking compensation…so go sue a volcano, dickheads!
BA announces that it has bought a fleet of Howard Hughes’s Spruce Goose’s in an attempt to get passengers back in the air. They’re hoping a turbo prop won’t be affected by the ash cloud in the way in which that jets are.
It’s good to see that The Pope continues to twist in the wind over the child abuse scandal rocking the Catholic Church: there are increasing calls, led by none other than Darwin’s Rottweiler Richard Dawkins, for the Pope to be arrested for his part in the cover up. If there was capital punishment for such crimes he could end up as the first “Pope on a Rope”. Certainly, if you discovered that you were a paedophile and that you preferred to rape boys rather than girls wouldn’t that be the moment to PICK UP THAT BIBLE and start cramming for the seminary. Just think, no women, unlimited access to alter boys and fellow kiddie fiddlers to share the fun and cover your arse. Catholicism and Paedophilia…it’s a match made in heaven!
