This paper seeks to bring to the forefront of attention the temporality of environmental matters and thereby establish the link between nature's temporalities, industrial activity, technological innovation, precautionary measures and environmental policies. It explores the assumptions associated with the `environmental crisis' and deconstructs some of the key presuppositions of the science of ecology and environmental economics.
