I use mythology as imagery. At the suggestion of Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding, James Lovelock has named his scientific "earth system" theory Gaia, after the pre-classical goddess.
"Gaia theory forces a planetary perspective. It is the health of the planet that matters, not that of some individual species of organisms" - James Lovelock "The Ages of Gaia" 1988
"The record drawn from the analysis of Antarctic ice cores clearly shows a strong correlation between global temperature, carbon dioxide and methane abundance" - James Lovelock "The Revenge of Gaia" 2006
