The God species : how humans really can save the planet Mark Lynas - London Fourth Estate 2012 - 280 pages 20 cm

The toxics boundary
The aerosols boundary
The ocean acidification boundary

Managing the planet
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.
