Global War-Ming
Global War-Ming

Summary/Abstract: There is a kind of modern war for and against global warming, inherited from the influences of Chinese Ming and Qin dynasties on European ideas at the times of Franz Unger. Hence, the War-Ming in the title of this review. The awareness of changing climate gradually influenced women in Europe and America, who relied on experimentations in vacuum technology. This study is the first to put forward the leading roles of Habsburgian Slovenians in the process of climate change, whereas a special emphasis is placed on the research of scholars from the then Maribor district, whose early biophysics was based on vacuum experiments. The mothers from Maribor gave birth to the famous Herman Potočnik Noordung and also to Franz Unger, the pioneer of greenhouse research.
