Maybe new evolution research has meant that the orgin of life has been more precisely dated, and science now _knows_ it did not happen 2.99 billion, or 3.01 billion, years ago? Wait a moment. Perhaps it was 300 *million* years in the life of the planet - because for whatever reason, he avoided delving too deeply into the Precambrian. He is also the author of Edwin Hubble: Master of the Nebulae, and his profession is that of a historian of science. There's an excerpt he http://www.2think.org/greenhouse.shtml The first chapter talks about Fourier and the French Revolution, which is exciting, but not really germane to the case for global warming - so this book apparently is using global warming simply as a springboard to get people interested in science.
