Vicky Slonosky, Part II. - The Long History of Changing the Climate

Part 2:

of Vicky Slonosky's "The Long History of Changing the Climate"

The deforestation-climate change idea seems to have been very popular and much discussed in early 19th century Canada, although the links to phlogiston were dropped as Lavoisier’s revolution in chemistry led towards our current theories of heat.  James Flemming and Hans (von Storch of this blog) have discussed deforestation and climate theories in the US and Germany.  As most of my work has been on Canadian observers, my examples will come from there.
