TIM FLANNERY: Well a couple of aspects of Gaia you know. One of them is that 8 per cent of all of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is drawn out by plants every year. So if we can regrow some tropical rainforests you have they’re an enormous engine of atmospheric cleansing you know that can buy us time. I don’t think people are suicidal. I think that you know that that we will act to deal with this pollution problem in time once we see it and understand it enough.
