本文认为，全球环境变化提供了一个富有成效的基础，在冷战期间的科学合作。本文以1972年美苏环境保护协定中的气候研究合作为透镜，展示了两个超级大国如何从最初的天气战开始，很快就合作解决日益严重的气候变化问题。该研究表明，虽然合作首先是一项由数据需求驱动的科学事业，但它不断在推进自己的研究议程的科学合作和冷战竞争的政治紧张局势之间摇摆不定。
This article argues that global environmental changes provided a fruitful ground for scientific collaboration during the Cold War. Taking the climate research cooperation of the 1972 US-USSR Agreement on Environmental Protection as a lens, this article shows how both superpowers, initially involved in weather warfare against each other, soon cooperated to tackle the rising problem of climate change. The study reveals that while the cooperation was foremost a scientific undertaking driven by the need for data it nevertheless constantly oscillated between scientific collaboration to advance one's own research agenda and the political tensions of the Cold War rivalry.
