From the publisher

Diese Sammlung klassischer Originalarbeiten, die den Grundstein fr die Vorhersage der globalen Erwrmung legten, berspannt einen zeitlichen Bogen von mehr als 175 Jahren -- von Fourier und Arrhenius im 19. Jahrhundert bis zu Manabe und Hansen heute. Die Einfhrungen und Kommentare von Archer und Pierrehumbert stellen die Arbeiten in ihren jeweiligen Kontext und helfen den Studenten, ihr Verstndnis des Fachgebiets zu vertiefen. Das Buch fngt die Spannung eines topaktuellen Forschungsfeldes ein und untersttzt Naturwissenschaftler, Historiker und ihre Studenten bei der Auffrischung der Prinzipien der Klimaforschung.

From the rear cover

Global warming is arguably the defining scientific issue of modern times, but it is not widely appreciated that the foundations of our understanding were laid almost two centuries ago with the postulation of a greenhouse effect by Fourier in 1827. The sensitivity of climate to changes in atmospheric CO₂ was first estimated about one century ago, and the rise in atmospheric CO₂ concentration was discovered half a century ago. The fundamentals of the science underlying the forecast for human-induced climate change were being published and debated long before the issue rose to public prominence in the last few decades.

The Warming Papers is a compendium of the classic scientific papers that constitute the foundation of the global warming forecast. The paper trail ranges from Fourier and Arrhenius in the 19^th Century to Manabe and Hansen in modern times. Archer and Pierrehumbert provide introductions and commentary which places the papers in their context and provide students with tools to develop and extend their understanding of the subject.

The book capture the excitement and the uncertainty that always exist at the cutting edge of research, and is invaluable reading for students of climate science, scientists, historians of science, and others interested in climate change.
