The God species: how the planet can survive the age of humans

Originally published as The God Species: How the Planet Can Survive the Age of Humans

The green movement has got it very wrong.

Nature no longer controls our planet - it is humanity, 'the god species', that must save the environment we have inflicted unprecedented damage upon. And the tools we must use are the very technologies that environmentalist have told us for years will spell disaster: nuclear power, GM food and geo-engineering.

In this blistering and urgent manifesto, Mark Lynas identifies a new future for the green movement and an entirely fresh agenda for how we will save the Earth, and ourselves.
