Our Mum, Da Earth (Gaia Awareness)

The Gaia Theory posits that the organic and inorganic components of Planet Earth have evolved together as a single living, self-regulating system. It suggests that this living system has automatically controlled global temperature, atmospheric content, ocean salinity, and other factors, tAfrica is facing the greatest catastrophe in human history. Pivotal Gaia destroyer: Climate Change: represents a nightmare scenario for the future of the people of the world's 'poorest' continent, according to the official preparing a top- level report which is due to land on the desks of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in later this year. Emerging analysis seen by the Stern Review into the economic impact of climate change suggests one of the worst affected places on the planet will also be the poorest. Global warming could cause temperature rises double those elsewhere. The consequence would be dramatic declines in rainfall and a fall in crop yields that could make previous famines look like small tragedies. Desertification could accelerate around the Sahara. There are likely to be severe water shortages in many parts of the continenthat maintains its own habitability.
