Funded Activity Summary

Saving the world the first time: global climate theory and desiccation 1765-1960. Advocates of the world's first global climate theory asserted that deforestation caused desertification. Understanding how this theory, called desiccation theory, launched and guided the world-wide environmental movement helps us to better understand the benefits and problems associated with our present-day climate theory-global warming.
