EcoMax 7: James Lovelock & the Ecology of Gaia

  • 46 York Place Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 3HP United Kingdom (map)

Do you understand the relevance of Gaia Theory and how it can help us address our current omni-crisis?

SEDA & GAIA RESEARCH

“ Gaia Theory is now a cornerstone of Earth system science. Its primary proposition – that atmospheric gasses are biologically maintained – is widely accepted. Another of its central arguments – that the Earth functions like a homeostatic cybernetic system – has paved the way for research into tipping points, such as the loss of polar ice sheets, the dieback of rainforests or the slowdown of ocean currents, that might push this system dangerously out of equilibrium.” – Jonathan Watts

Jonathan Watts, James Lovelock’s biographer, will be speaking at this event on August 9th about Gaia Theory, which invites us to think of the Earth as a living organism and recognise the interdependence of all its inhabitants.


The event is in person only and tea/coffee will be provided. Please e-mail the organisers with any questions, dietary and access requirements.
