When we burn fossil fuel for energy we are, in qualitative terms, doing nothing more wrong than burning wood. Our wrongdoing, if that is an appropriate term, is taking energy from Gaia hundreds of times faster than it is naturally made available. We are sinning in a quantitative not a qualitative way.
James Lovelock, PhD, CH, CBE, FRS, is an outspoken English environmentalist, futurist, and independent scientist best known for postulating the Gaia hypothesis, which suggests that the Earth is a complex self-regulating system that helps maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.
