Forget the spotted owl,

“We’ve had enough of all that environment bollocks”. With those words, an
editor at The Observer wrote off one of Britain’s top environment
reporters, Geoffrey Lean, a few years ago. Whatever happened to the salad days
of green journalism? The Daily Globe, edited by geography lecturer Joe
Smith, tries to find out with sparky contributions from hacks, campaigners and
the British government’s chief scientist Robert May. Published by Earthscan,
