Writing climate change

Maggie Gee

pp. 170-174

Abstract

What is special about human memory? A visitor from another galaxy might find memory encoded everywhere on earth, in the living and the non-living, in the geological layer-cake of rocks and the shifts of shore-lines as well as in the colonies of plants that mark where a spore has blown or a seed-capsule drifted. Planetary memory is everywhere, and we know the memory of non-human animals helps shape their lives.
