In four pages Sawyer summarized what was known about the role of carbon dioxide in enhancing the natural greenhouse effect, and made a remarkable prediction of the warming expected at the end of the twentieth century. <br class=""><br class="">Despite huge efforts, and advances in the science, the scientific consensus on the amount of global warming expected from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations has changed little from that in Sawyer's time.<br class=""><br class="">Neville Nicholls<br class="">School of Geography and Environmental Science,<br class="">Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia</span>
