	James Lovelock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In early 1961, Lovelock was engaged by NASA to develop sensitive instruments for the analysis of extraterrestrial atmospheres and planetary surfaces.
		To Lovelock, the stark contrast between the Martian atmosphere and chemically-dynamic mixture of that of the Earth was strongly indicative of the absence of life on the planet.
		Lovelock is currently president of the Marine Biological Association, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974, and in 1990 was awarded the first Dr.

		Lovelock's Devon idyll is a long way from Brixton, where he was raised as the only child of working-class parents in the 1920s and 30s.
		Lovelock was precocious, and learnt more from the books he read in Brixton library than he did at his highly regimented and detested school.
		Then, in 1961, Lovelock received an invitation to join NASA as a consultant at their Jet Propulsion Laboratories in California, where scientists were designing experiments to test for the presence of life on the Moon and on Mars.

		Lovelock is the inventor of the electron capture detector, a palm-size chamber that detects man-made chemicals in minute concentrations.
		Lovelock concluded that life -- microbes, plants and animals constantly metabolizing matter into energy, converting sunlight into nutrients, emitting and absorbing gas -- is what causes the Earth's atmosphere to be so, well, lively.
		Lovelock and Margulis, considered coauthor of the Gaia theory, soon discovered other bits of "good fortune." Although the sun has strengthened steadily, the Earth's surface temperature has stayed comfortable for life for hundreds of millions of years.

	Gaia, Lovelock and HolismGaia & Lovelock
		Lovelock extends this stance to claim that the earth is alive, a superorganism on which the living things, the air, the oceans, and the rocks all combine in one as Gaia.
		Where Lovelock classes the Gaian model as geophysiology and models it upon physiology, holism is based upon interactions of animals with their environment and the interdependence that evolves between life forms.
		Lovelock states: "The evolution of the species and the evolution of their environment are tightly coupled together as a single and inseparable process." Statements like this are dangerous for their interpretation extends from the local to the global sphere!

		After twenty years with the NIMR Lovelock began to feel that his creativity was being stifled by the security of his position as a scientific civil servant.
		Lovelock argued in 1979 that the Earth, including its rocks, oceans, and atmosphere, as well as its flora and fauna, was a living organism "maintained and regulated by life on the surface." He referred to it as 'Gaia' after the Greek Earth goddess - a suggestion made by the novelist William Golding.

	Gaia Theory: Science of the Living Earth
		In the early 1960's, James Lovelock was invited by NASA to participate in the scientific research for evidence of life on Mars.
		Lovelock concluded that for this to be the case the gases must be in constant circulation, and that the pump driving this circulation was life.
		This tied in well with Lovelock's observation that the Earth is chemically far from equilibrium, and the nonlinearity of the feedback loops such as the carbon dioxide cycle.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Lovelock: 'Only nuclear power can now halt global warming'
		Perhaps the category for this post should be "a nuclear electric green." James Lovelock, who with Lynn Margulis formulated the Gaia Hypothesis, says that a massive expansion of nuclear power as the world's main energy source is required to mitigate the effects of global warming.
		The same issue also includes an article noting that Lovelock was one of the first to warn of the potential disastrous impact of client change, and a piece about significant indicators of potentially catastrophic change: the rapid melting of the Arctic ice sheet covering Greenland, and the extreme heatwave in western central Europe last summer.
		Lovelock (in his editorial) makes a compelling case that climate change is happening faster and will be more disruptive than is commonly believed.

	The Gaia Hypothesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lovelock defines Gaia "as a complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on this planet." Through Gaia, the Earth sustains a kind of homeostasis, the maintenance of relatively constant conditions.
		As part of a NASA team formed in 1965 to look for life on other planets, Lovelock was asked to propose hypotheses that would demonstrate whether life existed on a planet or not.
		Lovelock initially suggested that life itself maintained the composition of the atmosphere, but has broadened the concept to include the whole system of the climate, the rocks, the air, and the oceans as a self-regulating process.

	Lovelock: 'Only nuclear power can now halt global warming' \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Energy and Peak Oil News
		Professor Lovelock, who achieved international fame as the author of the Gaia hypothesis, the theory that the Earth keeps itself fit for life by the actions of living things themselves, was among the first researchers to sound the alarm about the threat from the greenhouse effect.
		In today's Independent, Professor Lovelock says he is concerned by two climatic events in particular: the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which will raise global sea levels significantly, and the episode of extreme heat in western central Europe last August, accepted by many scientists as unprecedented and a direct result of global warming.
		His appeal, which in effect is asking the Greens to make a bargain with the devil, is likely to fall on deaf ears, at least at present.

	The Gaia Hypothesis - Dr James Lovelock & Dr Lynn Margulis
		But perhaps the most popularly known counter-argument employed by Lovelock at this time (in fact in 1983) was the systematic behaviour of the theoretical planet of Daisyworld which, like the earth, maintained its global temperature reasonably constant in the face of time and the increasing energy output of its sun.
		However it is interesting to note that James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis acknowledge the geologist-physician James Hutton's concept of a living Earth as a forerunner to the Gaia hypothesis.
		James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis coined the phrase the Gaia hypothesis to suggest not only that life has a greater influence on the evolution of the Earth than is typically assumed across most earth science disciplines but also that life serves as an active control system.
