GAIA Hypothesis

The GAIA hypothesis was very interesting to me. It provided me with another way to look at the world. I think the idea that the earth is a super organism that is cable of self-regulation is a good way to describe the earth. As we look back as history, we can see that the earth took care of itself and regulated the life that was on it. There were many big natural events that allowed for the earth to go back to a balanced life. Life on the earth seemed to live in harmony with no one species dominating over the other. When life became unbalanced, a new natural disaster hit that wiped out a lot of the life if not all of it that existed. Once the new disaster hit, a new way of life came to exist that was now back in harmony with everything else. During this age of harmony, humans began to excel. While the population grew, so did the impact that humans had on other life. If the GAIA hypothesis is true, the earth will soon right the unbalance that humans have caused with a natural disaster. From what the research shows, the action of GAIA is global warming. Maybe GAIA's plan is to heat the earth so hot that humans are wiped out because of lack of food. No one knows what is going to happen for sure, but the GAIA hypothesis does provide one explanation for everything that has happened and could be a possible outlook for what is in store for us and the earth.
