Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Gaia, the living Earth, fighting back? Our postmodern world holds the Gaia hypothesis, where environmental issues and ecological awareness have been put forth for discussion. Climate change, the greenhouse effect, overpopulation, a global water crisis, nuclear energy, endangered species, and fossil fuels are part of the discourse of an ordinary twenty-first-century citizen. Gaia’s purpose might be in stopping us in our tracks with the virus, depriving us of close social contact, of travel and mass consumption, as a result of the thousands of years humans have exploited the planet without counting the cost. The natural ability of the environment to balance itself and the processes that disrupt the ecological cycles have contributed to the changes in the climate of our planet. The need for more natural resources has forced humans to infringe or destroy natural habitats, thus, exposing us to numerous pathogens. The outbreak of Ebola, MERS, and other coronaviruses have been triggered by the transition from animal to human through the upset of natural habitats. The speed from which the virus has spread has surprised many governments, putting the economies and millions of people in serious danger. The globe is in serious danger. Torcello and Mann wrote an article titled “Seeing the Covid-19 Crisis Is Like Watching a Time Lapse of Climate Change. Will the Right Lessons Be Learned?” The reality is that the slower we respond, the higher the death rate and economic loss.
