Gaia Weeps, the classic novel of global warming, is still as gripping and pertinent today as it was a quarter century ago. From this morning's headlines, comes the story of unheard-of weather phenomena, global heat waves, deadly droughts, monster floods, rampant wildfires and worldwide disasters brought on by industrial poisons, greenhouse gases, foolish energy choices and our inattention to the warning signs.
The Gaia Theory, named for the ancient goddess of the Earth, who we call Mother Nature, tells us that the entire planet is an interlinked living being, slowly dying from our neglect. Gaia Weeps is a novel about the few who see the signs and try to warn the rest of us.
