Nope it's not "new age". Rather, the Gaia theory is a controversial theory that offers the notion that there is one giant global biosphere that always tweaks itself to support life. The extension of this notion is that soon humanity will only be able to survive in the arctics. http://c2ore.com/articles/?itemid=2045

I personally don't believe the Earth is capable of self-regulating itself, because if you look out into space there dosen't seem to be any regulation of the sort happening with any other planet. Of course, those planets don't have life on them either, so I can't be sure. The Earth is really just a giant wet rock spiraling thorough space, and as it becomes hotter or colder, we and everything else will have to deal with it or kick the bucket. So when the temperture raises by 100+ degrees in the future, you'll either see alot less people or aliens ;P

The Earth is an armpit, and we are the smelly bacteria.
actually it's been theorized that thanks to gas planets acting as occasional punching bags for asteroids, that the inner part of the solar system is safer from being filled with as many asteroids as it would otherwise be. Or something like that, I remember it being talked about a lot after those big giant fucking things crashed into Jupiter and made Earth-sized spots in its clouds... was that 1997?

Wrong, it is new age pseudo-science. The earth is in equilibrium because of the effects of plants and animals on the environment and plants and animals work in tandem with the environment because they spent millions of years evolving to it. Admit you are too stupid to distinguish between causes and effects and kill yourself.
