Another One Bites the Dust: James Lovelock

Physicist, James Lovelock, wasn't a pop star. He is credited, however, with popularising the influential Gaia hypothesis (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jul/27/james-lovelock-creator-of-gaia-hypothesis-dies-on-103rd-birthday). The Gaia hypothesis essentially views the Earth as a self-regulatory community of organisms (somewhat like single a giant, living organism). One very blunt conclusion follows. This is that it would be in 'Gaia's' interest to rid itself of human beings. Their pollutions and emissions currently make balance (viable surviving ecosystems) impossible. Lovelock died on his 103rd birthday and won't be around, to see how his hypothesis 'pans out' with respect to our species.
