Part one: Inventors. The message
Part two: Scientists. The wayward wind
The tire prints and the smoke menace
The geophysical experiment
The brakes and the Indian
The global computer model
The wood chips and the malaise
The unwarranted and alarmist report
The undoing of Thomas Midgley
The pilot lights and somebody's wind
Part three: Deniers. Old judge, or tobacco killed a cat
A scientific gymnastic feat
A czarina enjoys the corporate Christmas party
Who digested the scientists?
Committee on the care of children
Arthur Robinson is a good scientist
Jason Bourne's crestfallen itinerary
Editing turns the mild into weather gods
The business cards and the straight noodle
Epilogue: The parrot and the igloo.
