The past two decades have seen a remarkable broadening of interest
in global warming from a research concern on the part of a limited
number of scientists to a political problem on a worldwide scale.
The nature of this transformation would itself be a fruitful study
for a mixed team of social scientists and natural scientists. It
would be valuable to assess the differing nature of the staging
posts along this road: the First World Climate Conference in 1979,
which was a meeting of scientists talking to scientists; the
Villach Assessment of 1985, which was a meeting of scientists whose
report was given attention by the policy advisers of a number of
governments; the Second World Climate Conference of 1990, which
consisted of a scientific meeting followed by a Ministerial
Meeting; and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change of 1992 signed by 158 countries at the UN Conference on
Environment and Development in June 1992. The present publication
is a welcome contribution of the followup to UNCED. By focusing on
a specific problem, it avoids the pitfall of undue generalization
and provides the basis for fruitful discussion between natural
scientists, social scientists, and policymakers. To choose as the
area of concentration a particular scale also helped to produce
meaningful discussion likely to lead to action.
