We are at a watershed of history. The human race is now so numerous
and its technological power so great that we are having an
unprecedented impact on the biosphere, the entire planet. The need
to control this impact is giving rise to a new kind of politics -
the politics of the planet. The most urgent problem we face is that
of climate change. This book gives a vigorous and candid account of
how governments tentatively felt their way to the first
international agreements on climate change and the ozone layer, how
these work, and the long-term implications for global governance.
It points to the roles that businesses and ordinary citizens can
play, and the changes we can expect in our daily lives. This is an
area in which politics, technology and economics meet. In this
sweeping and energetic book, the author goes on to look at the
major planetary issues that confront us now or that are close over
the horizon, and the ethical issues of our relationship to our
environment that they raise. Amid the dangers, he finds ground for
hope. Anyone with an interest in the human condition as we spin
further into the new century will find this an enlightening and
rewarding book. Originally published in 2000
