Gaia theory.Named after the Greek goddess of Earth by the novelist William Golding, Gaia theory says that creatures, rocks, air and water interact in subtle ways to ensure the environment remains stable. The theory, invented by James Lovelock, inspired many environmentalists. Gaia thinking has been used to argue for restrictions on economic development, to protect the delicate balance. It underlies much of the emotional reaction to the possibility of man-made global warming. Although sceptical about such doomsday scenarios, iGreens have open minds about the dangers of, and best response to global warming. We are particularly interested in James Lovelock's view that if anthropogenic global warming is a real danger, the logical response is not to fiddle around with wind and solar alternatives, but to dramatically expand nuclear power.
