Earth's Innate Capacity for Self-Regulation
Earth and life together form a tightly interconnected system with the capacity to regulate the planet's climate and demonstrate resilience. This system, considered the largest known living entity, has the innate ability to balance its climate over long periods, although the process is too slow to be relevant for human societies. While the planet can pull itself back from extreme states, human intervention is necessary to address the severe imbalance introduced. Despite Earth's slow and limited self-regulation, it has the capacity to maintain a more temperate and habitable climate.
