A bi-monthly magazine covering the environmental protection and drinking water industry since 1988

March 2003 Edition Could Kyoto be an embryonic Godzilla? Global Warming is dominating political agendas around the world with media coverage at saturation point, in inverse proportion to public and political understanding of the complex factors involved. I am not a newcomer to this debate. I first wrote about it in 1968 when Global Warming was regarded as a scientific abstraction, with public interest at the same level of public understanding as Double Jeopardy audiences. Indeed, "jeopardy" might be adjectivally appropriate for the possible self-immolation that Canada is doing to itself in the way it deals with the Kyoto Accord.

The year 2003 is indeed a milestone year. It marks Environmental Science & Engineering Magazine’s 15th birthday and 110 years of environmental journalism in Canada. It also marks the 20th anniversary of a historical research project I did to commemorate Water & Pollution Control Magazine’s (W&PC) 90th birthday in 1983. W&PC’s origins began in 1893, when The Canadian Engineer was launched as a magazine serving professional engineers. The publication had several name changes over its lifespan. But even in its early days, the publication, first as a monthly and later as a weekly, had a profound interest in environmental engineering. Some of the early environmental engineering giants were featured in the magazine or contributed to it. Click here to see the full article.
