George Monbiot

George Monbiot is a writer I argue with in my head, which is exactly why I keep reading him. An Oxford-trained zoologist who became one of The Guardian's sharpest environmental voices, he writes with a conviction that can be uncomfortable but is rarely lazy. His 1991 Natural World Book Prize signals that the substance came before the provocation. Whether or not you agree with him, I respect a columnist who refuses to soften his beliefs to be liked, and there is something reassuring about an adult who is still genuinely, articulately angry on behalf of the planet.
