If there is to be a conscious design, it probably has to be ours."

Another interview with a slightly different wording of basically the same response to the same question, for clarity. Emphasis mine.

Also, his specialty as a scientist has zip to do with the climate/weather. He worked alongside the likes of Oppenheimer, on high-energy physics like atomic weapons. His opinion is worth very little on Climate. If you want to level a city, or maybe talk policy about why you shouldn't level a city, he's your guy. (I recommend 'Weapons and Hope')
