I have it hard copy because my parents had it [whether because it was classic or because the price was not, do not ask me, I was not consulted azt the time of purchase about 1960] and as Number 1 Son I grabbed it when the household goods and gods were dispersed.
IF you have a few minutes and are so inclined, you might find a gaze through of interest. If not no big deal, 1911 will not mind.
I actually did peruse it a bit. It seems like there was inadequate data to conclude that there was any climate change occurring at that point in time. Wholly unlike our present situation, where evidence continues to pile up.
