Global warming, Cold War and the evolution of research plans / Spencer R. Weart.

'In the following I explore the utility of a Darwinian language with reference to that last question. How did the timing and character of greenhouse-warming research plans in the 1950s relate to their social environment, shaped as it was by the Cold War?'
