150th Anniversary of Greenhouse Climate Theory

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It was 150 years ago that John Tyndall, one of history's truly great physicists, published a scientific paper with the far-from-snappy title On the Absorption and Radiation of Heat by Gases and Vapours, and on the Physical Connexion of Radiation, Absorption, and Conduction. The BBC has an article on John Tyndall and his contributions 150 years ago to the physics behind the study of climate change."

    Oxygen is a corrosive byproduct of Plants, and would be considered "pollution" by almost all standards used today, except that certain forms of life depend upon it.

    It all depends on your perspective.
