There was an interesting programme on BBC the other day about James Lovelock and the Gaia Theory. For those who can't access the BBC, you can see this snippet on YouTube.
Masses of people have campaigned to cut flying to reduce carbon emissions. It took one erupting volcano to effectively do that.
Our gadgets may be impressive but in the face of nature they are shown to be completely useless.
I am all in favour of believing that all living thing contain an intelligence. Even dead ones. I used to put my shoes together at night in case they got lonely!
When things aren't going as they should be, they tend to fight back. Take IBS. You might not think your intestines are intelligent but treat them badly by starving, stuffing and eating spasmodically and they will let you know that they are not happy.

Shame the volcano had to do that by, er, pumping untold tons of carbon into the atmosphere. I wonder if anyone can calculate whether the net result was more or less carbon than if the thing hadn't erupted.
