Scientist Believes Life Is Toxic; Earth Needs Humans To Save It
Peter Ward "believes that the only help for the planet over the long run is management by human beings - whether that means actively adjusting the chemical composition of the atmosphere or using giant satellites to modify the amount of sunlight that reaches us. As Ward sees it, the planet doesn't need our help destroying itself. It will do that automatically. It needs us to save it." Boston Globe 01/10/09
