The Revenge of Gaia

In the text The Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock, he talks about the Earth and why it’s going through changes. The author says that he thinks of the earth as a patient with a fever. The Earth is capable of changing its temperature to make itself more comfortable. The Earth responds to whatever we do. He also talks about how global warming is real and is out of the Earth’s control. The reason why we can’t see that the Earth is changing is because we’re focused on other things; like clothes, food, the new gadget, what movie came out, and more. Since we are distracted we are not focusing on the main problem, which is global warming. Every time we pollute or send greenhouse gases out into the air it causes the earth to heat up.
The Earth changes so that it could adapt to the changes that it going through. The Earth has been around for billions of years and in those years it went through many changes. Just like humans, we change to make ourselves more comfortable. If we’re cold we may put on a sweater, if we’re sick we take medicine. The atmosphere has a lot of harmful gases in it that isn’t good for the environment
