  • SF Commentary 67
    SF COMMENTARY No. 67 January 1989 Elaine Cochrane Thomas M. Disch Diane Fox Bruce Gillespie Michael Tolley ------------ I MUST BE ---------—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TALKING TO ------------ MY FRIENDS --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why not say that overwhelming public pressure has forced the revival of SF Commentary? Because it isn't true. Readers seem to be getting used to the idea of The Metaphysical Review. Truckloads of letters of comment arrive every day. The next issue is approaching the thousand-page mark. (Not really, but it seems that way.) TMR still gives me a freedom of subject matter that SFC did not allow me. And the massed Ditmar voters of Australia liked The Metaphysical Review, which I did not expect. But... there is some unfinished business here. Five or six years of it. Lots of loose ends sniggering and sneaking out of dusty envelopes on the shelf. Brilliant articles still unpublished, because they were outdated by the time TMR began. Material that didn't quite fit the format I wanted for TMR. Letters that I wanted to publish, although they arrived seven years ago. Some of the Best of the Last of SF Commentary appeared in Van Ikin's Science Fiction. Van threw open his magazine to my untender ministrations, and I filled it with such pieces as George Turner's ‘What Australian SF Critics Should Be Talking About’, Joe Sanders' brilliant article on Robert Silverberg, and Yvonne Rousseau's review of Murnane's The Plains. And there were letters from Ursula Le Guin, Thomas Disch, Andrew Weiner, and James Campbell. That issue was Vol. 5, No. 3, whole number 15, September 1983, and no doubt Van still can sell you copies if you send him $20 for a subscription (Dr V.

  • Imagining Abrupt Climate Change Terraforming Earth by KIM STANLEY ROBINSON
    Back to Amazon.com Imagining Abrupt Climate Change Terraforming Earth by KIM STANLEY ROBINSON Somehow my job has made me think about climate change for years now. I spent most of the 1990s writing a trilogy about the human inhabitation of Mars; my characters in those books were part of a huge multi-generational effort to change the climate on Mars, by melting its ice and pumping its frozen atmosphere back into the skies. All this was part of the science fictional enterprise that Jack Williamson named “terraforming” in a story he wrote in the 1930s. Terraforming is climate change with a vengeance, and pretty early in the process of writing my Mars books, while reading about the various environmental problems that were going to be caused by global warming, it occurred to me that we were already terraforming Earth, in the here and now, but by accident, and in ignorance of how it worked or what might happen. All the aspects of terraforming were already present in one form or another: we alter the Earth's surface 1 Kim Stanley Robinson “Imagining Abrupt Climate Change” faster than any natural process, we're altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere, making it more of a greenhouse than it was before, and this change in turn is altering the chemical composition of the ocean, which is rapidly becoming more acidic. Most of these processes are destructive to the biological communities already in place, on land and in the seas; and so the first result of our inadvertent terraforming seems likely to be a mass extinction event, an extinction to rival the huge mass extinctions that ended the Cretaceous and the Permian.
