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."

    Damned Yankees, never did know what to do on a nice warm day. Its called sweet tea, and when added with a shade tree or even better an innertube and a creek is a damned fine way to enjoy a nice sunny day son!

    Just dig you a pit, have you some hobo BBQ, fire up a fatty or crack a cold one (whichever floats your boat) and you and your sweetie just float the day away. Dang Yankees just don't know what's good, that's what it is.
