One of the most compelling and intelligent works on global warming in print –Clearly stating how our Mother Ship came to this precarious state! Check out this link to Spencer Weart's site:

A hypertext history of how scientists came to (partly) understand what people are doing to cause climate change.

This Web site created by Spencer Weart supplements his much shorter book, which tells the history of climate change research as a single connected narrative. On this Web site you will find a fuller history (about 250,000 words). Or see what critics say about the book and then order it from Harvard University Press or Amazon.com.

"To a patient scientist, the unfolding greenhouse mystery is far more exciting than the plot of the best mystery novel. But it is slow reading, with new clues sometimes not appearing for several years. Impatience increases when one realizes that it is not the fate of some fictional character, but of our planet and species, which hangs in the balance as the great carbon mystery unfolds at a seemingly glacial pace." — D. Schindler
