In the hothouse of science, the human stories often get left out. But
historian Gale Christianson has fun filling the gaps in Greenhouse: The
200-year Story of Global Warming. It is a scrapbook of scientific

the atmosphere filling with carbon dioxide and sweaty nights negotiating the
Kyoto Protocol. Published by Constable, £9.99, ISBN 0094800308.
