https://www.desmog.com/2026/07/29/the-lovelock-papers-shells-hidden-climate-knowledge-under-scrutiny-as-court-battle-looms/. "'What seems to be important,' wrote the visionary #British #scientist, James #Lovelock, in June 1966, is 'the almost certain fact that the #climate is worsening & the #probability that the #combustion of #fuel is #responsible.' Commissioned by #Shell, the memo was the first in a series of #secret #reports by Lovelock for the [Anglo-Dutch] #oil giant exploring the 'large scale #atmospheric effects' of burning #fossilfuels." (Anglo-Dutch, NOT UK, @desmog.com.)

It's not difficult to extrapolate from an understanding of #homeostasis as noted in individuals to population and ecological community levels. Alas, #fossilfuel companies encouraged #Lovelock and #Margulis in their #Gaia research, as it was surmised their findings would lull the general public to believe the earth would self-regulate regardless of levels of pollution. It probably did help with the propaganda.
To maintain homeostasis, however, always requires an #EROEI. We have dysregulated the ecological homeostasis. When it costs as much to sell and ship an item as we can make from doing so, we will stop doing so. Ships, aircraft, trains, barges and trucks are vulnerable to this. WE are vulnerable to this. >>

Next time you have to explain to someone why it’s better to not eat meat, you can tell them that it is to make sure that the next asteroid impact will not prevent electronic life from knowing the universe.
In his last book, "Novacene", #Lovelock is again both thought-provoking and outright insane.
But its ok. Let him be the vehicle for the universe to say crazy things about itself. My review:

This makes me think of Gaia, the theory of James Lovelock.
The Internet of Nature. Information exchange between prey and predator; between two species that eat the same food; or from the environment.

having read this piece on #Lovelock now I realise it's rather important stuff for #astrobiology - on the origin of the ideas that life on another planet can be detected by the off-equilibrium composition of its #atmosphere.
Also important to note that much of that came from #DianHitchcock, whose name was new to me.

This is a great story about how the Gaia hypothesis originated. And there's an uncredited woman (again) at its heart.
" ...it was a whole new way of thinking about life on Earth. ... life does not just adapt to the environment, it also shapes it. ... Life was no longer just a passive object of change; it was an agent. The couple ... were pioneers making an intellectual journey nobody had made before."

Good morning, #gaia theory and its author (s) - on the intellectual presence of #Hitchcock in #Lovelock's work. I guess relevant for @sts and reading #Latour's thinking with Gaia.

Wenn man just for fun einer banalen Idee folgend in die Suchmaschine die Worte Homo Sensorium eingibt (die verbundene Spezies aus #Sense8), nur um zu schauen, welche Ergebnisse ausser denen zu Sense8 es noch dazu gibt - und man dann über einen Text stolpert, der einen zu James #Lovelock|s und Lynn #Margulis #GaiaHypothese bringt.
Schätze, ich werd das mal lesen, schon viel zu oft darüber gehört. Klingt auf jeden Fall interessant. 🙃😊 -
Today marks 105 years since the birth of James #Lovelock and 2 years since he passed away. A major biography by @JonathanWatts is coming later this year, but for now, interested readers can revisit my four-parter on the #Gaia hypothesis:

"decades later, a huge amount of evidence has shown that some of the core tenets of what Lovelock was saying are indeed true"
