Klimajournalismus als Zeitgeschichtsschreibung – 8 Thesen
Seit mehreren Jahren verfolge ich die Klimaberichterstattung einiger Tageszeitungen. Die folgenden Thesen sind ein Ergebnis dieser Lektüre. Ich formuliere sie provisorisch als Ausgangspunkt für Diskussionen. Sie sind vor allem von Albert Camus’ Verständnis des Journalismus als Geschichtsschreibung und von Bruno Latours Arbeiten zur Geschichtlichkeit Gaias abhängig.

James Lovelock hat uns gelehrt, die Erde nicht als Felsbrocken, sondern als lebendigen Organismus zu sehen. Seine Gaia-Hypothese revolutionierte unser Denken. Er wurde über 100 Jahre alt – und sein geistiges Erbe ist unsterblich. #JamesLovelock #Gaia

"[James] Lovelock, I continue to be believe, did discover something – about how our unstable atmosphere is stabilized, about how clouds are made, about how land creatures get the iodine they need, and, ultimately, about the kind of world that we live in – a world that makes itself and will in time re-make itself without us, should we render it uninhabitable for creatures like us."

My take is that Lovelock was really good at developing methods and analytical instruments, but that his views on society need to be taken with a handful of salt.
Lovelock voiced at an older age (or at least, afaik) some rather ... controversial opinions about geoengineering, nuclear power, collapse, and civilization[it's about everybody] "absolutely doing their utmost to sustain civilization, so that it doesn't degenerate into Dark Ages",
which at least has some flavours of Western supremacy.
It sounds very appropriate to learn about his biography to understand where he came from.

Gaïa, la déesse de l’écologie?
#BrunoLatour a adoubé #JamesLovelock comme un nouveau Galilée proposant #Gaïa aux sciences de la Terre. Au moment où les photos de la Nasa donnent à voir la planète comme une boule fragile, cette divinité grecque a-t-elle changé le regard sur la planète? #SébastienDutreuil raconte cette histoire à l’origine de controverses parfois violentes. (Gilles Fumey)

The Gaia quartet concludes! A challenging but satisfying book, The Gaia Hypothesis is a rigorous analysis of its historical precursors and a piercing character study of Lovelock, explaining why Gaia was rejected by scientists but embraced by the public.

The Gaia Quartet continues: An accessible and incredibly fascinating book, On Gaia takes a hard-nosed look at Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis to see if our current scientific understanding actually supports it.

Continuing my four-part dive into the Gaia hypothesis, I next review The Ages of Gaia which sees James Lovelock expand and refine his ideas. Will he convince me now?

The Gaia Quartet starts dropping today! Getting to grips with the Gaia hypothesis has long been on my to-do list. In this first of a four-part review, I turn to the classic that started it all.

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high 🦋
As ☁️☁️ roll past my 🧔🏽
I know why the skies all 😭
The 🌍 turns slowly round
Far away, the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it says?

“The pioneer and would-be spacefarer Elon Musk has said he would like to die on Mars, though not on impact. Martian conditions suggest death on impact might be preferable.”

This is a hot take and a half!
"I think it’s time for the dissolution of the universities. They are very like the church was way back in the Middle Ages. They’ve got too comfortable and cosy and they’re not really doing their job."
