... reason for Lovelock's Gaian Theory keeping the Earth balanced. The salinity of the ocean has been maintained at a constant rate of 3.4% for billions of years. It is maintained by the marine life in the ocean, where there are limestone deposits. Salt is then moved back to the land masses by the slow movements of these masses. Atlthough this is a fairly good explanaition for the Gaia Theory, there were people who ... did not believe a word of what Lovelock said. Their argument was if the earth could not reproduce, then it is not alive. They also argued that organsims weren't smart enough ...

... made by those who have made emission restrictions, as the environment is none the better, and the country that had good intentions is now poorer. This scenario is known as "leakage," where industries in emission-restricted countries suffer at the gain of non-complying countries, and thus gives few such exporting countries the incentive to improve the state of the earth. This makes it clear that sub-global abatement ... of emission restrictions will nullify the efforts of those who are working towards greenhouse gas emission control.
