The Living Earth

On a philosophical level, very little credence has been given in the mainstream intellectual community to the theory of a living earth. Strange, becuase, to me, the fact that Earth is a living organism is a no-brainer. It goes through its cycles like any woman, and much of what the Maya foretold about 2012 could very have to do with the Earth herself. In Alaska, the eruption of the Augustine Volcano in January bears watching. It is relatively new volcano, and it's not done blowing yet. The ice melt being reported by Linda Moulton Howe and others is probably the single scientific story that bears watching. She will be on Coast to Coast AM March 17 with a full report.
Theories espoused by learned people about the effects of this ice melt abound, and it is worth noting that in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions this ice is melting faster than in any other time in the modern era.
