"...so here we are us humans, at the final stroke of the midnight hour of this first cosmic year...and what of the future?..."

"..from the mightiest plankton to the humblest whale..." blooms of the phytoplankton emiliana huxleyii cover large areas of the ocean where they powerfully affect the environment by removing carbon dioxide from the air while at the same time producing dimethyl sulfide, a gas which enables clouds to form over the ocean.

"In Gaia we are just another species,
neither the owners nor the stewards of

this planet.

Our future depends much more upon a
right relationship with Gaia than with the
never ending drama of human interest."
