'A Gaia-send' "[F]or quite a few people, environmentalism has become a matter of not just ideology but quasi-religious zealotry. "Mark Kleiman, a professor of public policy studies at UCLA and a self-identified liberal, noted this recently ... 'To those who dislike a social system based on high and growing consumption and the economic activity that supports high and growing consumption and maintains high and growing demand ... to those who think that the market needs more regulation by the state, to those who think that international institutions ought to be strengthened ... global warming is a Gaia-send' — since it justifies drastic worldwide public action to curb production and consumption. (Gaia, the ancient Greek goddess of the earth, is a term used by many ecologists to refer to the earth as a living entity.) While Kleiman sympathizes with environmentalists, he notes that 'their eagerness to believe the worst' — for instance, in Al Gore's documentary, 'An Inconvenient Truth' — 'is just as evident as the right wing's denialism.' " — Cathy Young, writing on "Common Sense in the Warming Debate," Monday in the Boston Globe
