Welcome to the GaiaSpherian site!
It sounds alien right? Well you are currently an Anthropocene man living a destructive lifestyle that is destroying the planet that sustains us, much like a hostile alien would. The GaiaSpherian philosophy is simple.
Gaia:
Millions self regulating interacting systems that sustain & allow life that evolves to live in balance within it
+
Sphere: The physical planet Earth
=
The Gaiasphere
Gaiaspherians, as distinct from Anthropocene man live in harmony with these principles so as to keep these systems in balance.
We live on this sphere we call planet earth where live organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings to form a synergistic self-regulating, complex
ideal system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. For instance when Co2 levels get to high, the oceans warm creating conditions of Algae which proliferate and die carrying vast amounts of carbon to the ocean floor as they die. The sludge eventually gets buried through subduction and becomes vast deposits of oil and gas.
The Gaian system created an ideal habitat for Holocene man who dug up these deposits and burnt them releasing vast quanities into the already finely balance atmoshere, the greenhouse gas genie is out of the bottle. If there was no Co2 in our atmoshere to hold the sunlight it would all reradiated as infrared heat creating a snowball earth. On the other hand 270 PPM equals just right amount as it was in 1750 at the start of the industrial revolution. 400 PPM means we are cooking he planet. The achanges this has created are so large many scientist believe we have created a new Epoch called the Anthropcene as man has overidden Gaia as the main force capable of changing the planets geological, oceanic, atmospheric systems that interact to allow life. But is Anthropcene man capable of weilding this power responsibly?
Becoming a GaiaSpherian means you reject the Anthropocene before it kills us all and are working towards living in harmony with Gaia. Because if we don’t…..
