The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine)
The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) – Review
The author Spencer Weart has been able to write a unexpectedly fascinating version of the history behind how global warming was located (of course, some people believe that you can’t discover what doesn’t exist). The book is refreshingly free from the contemporary politics immediately surrounding global warming, it tells us of the people that quickly noticed something was dying on with the climate, and how they eventually came to the conclusions that the earth, in all likelihood was indeed warming. The book is not an introduction to global warming. I commonly found it most helpful as a supplemental background to fully understanding current global warming issues.
