BUS DRIVING ACROSS FLOODED PLATAEU, HIGH ANDES. BOLIVIA

Predictions for a warmer planet include more intense weather events, more floods,droughts and heat waves. The localized climate-related disasters that we read aboutevery day could begin to occur across the planet as a runaway, irreversible greenhouseeffect kicks in. If we wait for more disasters like continental droughts (alreadyhappening in Australia), plagues of tropical diseases in places not strictly tropical,

massive hurricanes and typhoons flattening major cities, then governments will panicand pass panic-inspired laws and regulations. Democracy and diverse approachescould be early victims of global warming.

Bangladeshi refugees, Calcutta, India

I took this profoundly disturbing picture of a man carrying his cholera-stricken wifeduring the Bangladesh war in 1971. Ten million people crossed the East Pakistanborder into India to escape the horrors of this bloody war.

Photographs are a shadow of the past but they can also be a ghost of the future. If wego on trapping the sun’s heat in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, ice on land willmelt, eventually causing sea levels to rise – potentially by 50 metres.

If the sea level rose by just one metre it would make 20 million people homeless inBangladesh and India alone. Where will they go?

We have been heralding weak and largely substanceless global accords to limitgreenhouse emissions as great achievements but the reality is that governments havefailed to act in proportion to the problem. They have been responding to our quietclamour with hypocrisy and deception, with schemes that seem to promise somethingfor nothing.

Oiled bird, Brazil

We learn a lot about big environmental disasters but we may overlook the pollution weourselves cause. Lights left on in empty rooms, car journeys that could have been cyclerides, heat pouring out of badly insulated homes, shopping taken home in single-useplastic bags. Our small acts of pollution lack the awful drama of the oil spill that trappedthis bird but, taken together, they are far more destructive to the planet. Ten times moreoil reaches the seas from car owners pouring old engine oil down drains than from oiltanker disasters like this one off the coast of Brazil that polluted miles of coastline andkilled thousands of seabirds.

Taj Mahal, India

A body washed up behind the world’s most famous tomb, the Taj Mahal, built tocommemorate the death of Shah Jahan’s favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The family of the deceased could not afford wood for a funeral pyre. Great wealth and desperatepoverty still exist side by side.

Mother and child living in a drainpipe, Calcutta, India

Almost half the people on earth (nearly three billion) try to exist on the equivalent of less than $2 a day. The absolute poor try to exist on the equivalent of $1 a day. Thereare 1.1 billion of these people. They cannot meet their basic needs – food, clean water,shelter – and by definition not meeting basic needs often leads to premature death.Their children tend to die in large numbers – about 1.7 million every year due to olddiseases like diarrhoea and sleeping sickness. Their rain is now.

Logging road, Amazon, Brazil

Surui children watch a bulldozer cut a logging road through their reservation. Thispicture records the moment when indigenous wisdom is humiliated by the modernworld. The parents of these children were forced to sell timber to pay for medicines totreat TB. They were infected when the infamous BR364 highway was built through their land. Their medicine men, like our scientists, cannot suddenly develop cures for newdiseases. So now their culture is drawn into scientific civilization. One more perplexingexample of indigenous people, shorn of their ancient cultures, walking into thedarkness of an unknown future – their rituals, artefacts and wisdom diminished for ever by the devastating effectiveness of science.

That’s the story of progress – we lose something hard to remember and gain a globalcivilization with many marvellous opportunities but some deeply imbedded problems

which we have to attend to. We have to show that the human race is capable of sustaining life at a high level of technology. Right now it’s an open question.

A wedding party protests against air pollution, Russia

We all have to put huge pressure on our governments to introduce the policy changesthat are required to solve the climate crisis and related environmental and socialproblems.

By way of gentle persuasion I sent all world leaders a copy of Hard Rain. Sadly, thecopy I sent to George W. Bush, then US President, care of the American Embassy inLondon, came back three days later, the envelope marked “Not Known At this Address”. Comments from other leaders can be seen on www.hardrainproject.com

Jacabamba valley, Peru

“It was with some trepidation that I trekked up Jacabamba valley, following in my

father’s footsteps some twenty years before. From a distance the snow-capped peakslooked the same as in his photos, but the real question I wanted to answer was whatthe big fan-shaped glacier above the lake looked like today. I reached the spot in a littleover three hours, rounding a hill of glacial moraine to arrive at the lake. It was barelyrecognizable, and for a minute I thought there must have been some mistake. The bigfan-shaped glacier had vanished, leaving in its place bare rock and a few heaps of greyrubble.

“Lima is the second-largest desert city in the world after Cairo, and every drop of water consumed by its seven million residents flows down from the Andes high above. Muchof the dry-season flow of the coastal rivers is sustained by glacier melt, and if these

glaciers disappear then the rivers will run dry for half the year. The process is alreadywell under way: in the past thirty years 811 million cubic metres of water (three timesthe volume of Windermere, England’s largest lake) has been lost from the ice-fieldsabove Lima. It’s a problem mirrored in the Indian subcontinent, where some estimatessuggest that half a billion people will run short of water over the next century as theHimalayan glaciers retreat.”Mark Lynas
