From this week's New Yorker, Elizabeth Kolbert's great send up of a current fad in environmental writing, the gimmick: "...most people are in no mood to read about how screwed up they are. It’s a bummer. If you’re the National Academy of Sciences or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or the Pope or Al Gore, you can try to fight this with yet another multivolume report or encyclical. If not, you’d better get a gimmick."
