The ascent of man The biodiversity boundary The climate change boundary The nitrogen boundary The land use boundary The freshwater boundary The toxics boundary The aerosols boundary The ocean acidification boundary The ozone layer 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.
