Standardne zgodovine podnebne znanosti prikazujejo dolgo in imenitno razvojno pot raziskovanja antropogenega globalnega segrevanja. Tovrstni opisi izpostavljajo posamične fizike iz 19. in 20. stoletja, ki so ugotovili, da lahko kurjenje fosilnih goriv privede do ogrevanja Zemlje, vendar so jih pri tem sodobniki na videz ignorirali. Ta zapis se bo namesto tega osredotočil na prvine, ki v standardni pripovedi umanjkajo. Organiziran je okoli treh zgodovinskih procesov, ki so neizbrisno zaznamovali zgodovino znanosti o podnebju: teoretskih razmišljanj o razlikah med ljudmi, širjenja imperijev in industrializacije. Geografsko se bomo pri tem osredotočili na Evropo in njene kolonije. Zgodovinski opisi podnebne znanosti, ki zanemarjajo njene povezave z evropskim kolonializmom in rasnim kapitalizmom, prinašajo nevarnost zacementiranja znanstvene kulture, ki te oblike zatiranja nadaljuje. Ta zapis se začenja s pregledom, kako se je pomen besede »podnebje« med zgodnjo moderno dobo in 19. stoletjem spreminjal v odgovor na geografska poročila evropskih popotnikov in zdravnikov ter v spregi s preobrazbo atmosfere v predmet laboratorijskega proučevanja. Zadnje poglavje to zgodovino privede do sedanjosti, pri čemer sledi dediščini kolonializma v dobo digitalnih podnebnih modelov.
