Climate change and the single cell by Derek T. A. Lamport

“…Stomata act as crucial regulatory components of a water hypercycle that contributes to the homeostasis of a warming planet by regulating evaporative cooling and reflective cloud cover generated by vast tropical rainforests of the South and the equally vast arboreal forests of the North. Finally, forests and the high albedo of snow-capped mountains and polar ice caps are essential to the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, which remains a brilliant metaphor despite earlier criticism.…”
