In part 4 of The Quest, Daniel Yergin does a nice job of laying out the chronological development of the climate change movement. This of course starts first with the science of being able to understand the climate and take the measurements necessary to observe changes happening in the natural world.

In the 1980s, China, a country undergoing dramatic economic program, worshiped Hayek’s idea, and fiercely debated the extent of government interventionism in this entire process.
