Top scientist James Hansen, who raised alarm about global warming, says it would be better for the world and future generations if the Copenhagen climate summit ends in failure.
The director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York said any deal emerging from the negotiations would be disastrously flawed.
"I would rather it not happen if people accept that as being the right track because it's a disaster track," Hansen said in an interview with The Guardian.
"The whole approach is so fundamentally wrong that it is better to reassess the situation.
"If it is going to be the Kyoto-type thing then [people] will spend years trying to determine exactly what that means."
