It is one of Ruskin&rsquo;s final writings, conducted with both rigorous scientific observation and a sense of Biblical prophecy.<\/p>\n<p>Ruskin&rsquo;s call to action is even more urgently needed today. His rallying cry, <em>There is no Wealth but Life<\/em>, is implicit throughout the <em>Storm Cloud<\/em>. How his thought developed through a conflicted relationship with the professional science of his day, and what we can take from his writings, are examined by Peter Brimblecombe, Professor of Atmospheric Pollution at the University of Essex, in his Introduction.
