Not so much the state we're in as the mess we're getting into. The
world we were born into has gone. We shall never completely
recapture its climate, its seasons, the way its plants grew and its
animals lived. This is not a wild-eyed prediction, a man on the
street with a placard. Respectable science knows it and says it.
Nine of the world's ten warmest years since records were kept have
occurred in the past fourteen years. Every month, an English garden
moves south, climatically, by a distance of one hundred yards. Who
is responsible? We are our habits. Can we prevent it? Too late. Can
we moderate it, slow it, reverse it? Yes- if we try. This issue of
"Granta" contains reports from the frontiers of environment change.
Contributors include: Marion Botsford-Fraser; James
Hamilton-Paterson; Matthew Hart; Thomas Keneally; Philip Marsden;
Bill McKibben; Wayne McLennan; Christopher de Bellaigue; James
Meek; and Nuha al-Radi in Iraq. There is new fiction from Maarten
't Hart and Jon McGregor, and a picture essay by Edward Burtynsky
on our industrial landscapes.
