The global concepts of "climate change" and "global warming" cannot be derived from personal experience, nor can they be derived from observations in one area alone. How did these "global concepts" become established among the general public around the world as seen today? This book tracks the history of meteorological and climatic observation, which is a premise for discussion, the establishment of observation networks on a global scale, social systems for international data-sharing, the progress of science and technology such as computers, and the development of climatic models handled by Dr. Yoshiro Manabe, who received the Nobel Prize. It explains the establishment of climatic data obtained from models, which became the origin of global concepts such as global warming warming. It also introduces the process by which the global climatic data became the basis of human knowledge, while giving an overview of their influence on climatic politics around the world. It introduces the long-awaited Japanese translation of the masterpiece 『 A Vast Machine 』, which received many awards overseas and published many book reviews!
