This book came out in 1989, the year after several weather events, including a huge fire in Yellowstone, brought global warming into the public consciousness. That's when I first read it. In 1989, global warming was a theory, without much data to show a "signal" that it was occuring. People were beginning to discuss global warming and take it seriously. Many poo-pooed it, including the US government.
Now, 33 years later, it is instructive to read what was being said at the beginning of the public debate. This book was in bookstores as a popular title and that is when I picked it up and read it. And I just reread it, 33 years later. This book, therefore, is really most valuable as a historical resource of what was in the bookstores 33 years ago. Not what is the state of the art science today, but what was being discussed 33 years ago. Very prescient and very sad.
