Ha, zde autobiografie Davida Keelinga (cloveka, ktery zacal merit CO2 v atmosfere)
When I began my professional career, the pursuit of science was in a transition
from a pursuit by individuals motivated by personal curiosity to a worldwide
enterprise with powerful strategic and materialistic purposes. The studies of the
Earth’s environment that I have engaged in for over forty years, and describe in
this essay, could not have been realized by the old kind of science. Associated with
the new kind of science, however, was a loss of ease to pursue, unfettered, one’s
personal approaches to scientific discovery. Human society, embracing science
for its tangible benefits, inevitably has grown dependent on scientific discoveries.
It now seeks direct deliverable results, often on a timetable, as compensation
for public sponsorship. Perhaps my experience in studying the Earth, initially
with few restrictions and later with increasingly sophisticated interaction with
government sponsors and various planning committees, will provide a perspective
on this great transition from science being primarily an intellectual pastime of
private persons to its present status as a major contributor to the quality of human
life and the prosperity of nations.
