解説
GAIA shares the destiny of a living-and now suffering-Earth.
ANIMA mundi, her myth embodies; it is the self-regulating and self-organizing flow of energy between the Sun and Moon and Earth's elemental surface and subterrain, oceans and atmosphere, together supporting the planet's species.
ENERGY, the vibrant energy that surges through her biosphere is being blocked, though, coming under attack from our species' greed-driven promotion and acceptance of technology that unrelentingly destroys the conditions supporting and sustaining life.
WEALTH accumulation in the name of progress is as if the legendary touch of Midas today transforms Earth's creations into lifeless forms, accelerating entropy and the global approach to disclimax.
EXISTENCE itself is being pushed by our species towards the vanishing point. War over resources-food, oil, water, land-and fouling of the environment, pandemics, and technological nostrums hasten the day.
FAILSAFE points have been passed: this study offers a broad, new look at the possibility that our planet has reached the final moment of no return.
