Lovelock argued that Daisyworld , although a parable , illustrates how conventional natural selection operating on individual organisms can still produce planetary-scale homeostasis .
Lovelock has responded to these criticisms with models such as Daisyworld , which illustrate how individual-level effects can translate to planetary homeostasis , under the right circumstances .
[]
In Lovelock 's 2006 book , " The Revenge of Gaia " , he argues that the lack of respect humans have had for Gaia , through the damage done to rainforests and the reduction in planetary biodiversity , is testing Gaia 's capacity to minimize the effects of the addition of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere .
In Lovelock 's 2006 book , " The Revenge of Gaia " , he argues that the destruction of rainforests weakens Gaia 's capacity to control greenhouse gases in the atmosphere .
[]

As phytoplankton and forests are the main ways in which Gaia draws down greenhouse gases , particularly carbon dioxide , taking it out of the atmosphere , the elimination of this environmental buffering will see , according to Lovelock , most of the earth becoming uninhabitable for humans and other life-forms by the middle of this century , with a massive extension of tropical deserts .
