What Tyndall had demonstrated for the first time was that gases in the atmosphere absorb heat to very different degrees; he had discovered the molecular basis of the greenhouse effect.

THE phenomenon mentioned by Prof. Tyndall as recently occurring at the Bel Alp is not infrequent at the coast. At Folkestone in the month of June last, we saw several more or less striking instances.

Greenhouse Effect (1824) Back in 1824, a French physicist named Joseph Fourier made a breakthrough that would fundamentally change our understanding of how Earth's atmosphere works. He discovered ...

At first he almost disproved the greenhouse effect by showing that infrared passes straight through oxygen and nitrogen — the main components of our atmosphere. But before he quit, Tyndall tried ...

In the mid-1800s, scientists Eunice Foote and John Tyndall experimentally demonstrated that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. These gases warm the planet by absorbing radiation otherwise destined for space ...

Did you know that an amateur scientist first noted the warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in 1856? With so much noise about the climate, it’s hard to sort fact from fear. Here ...

John Tyndall (1820-1893) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. He made important contributions to physics, atmospheric science and geology.

Global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels are correlated. ... The greenhouse effect has "been verified by laboratory experiments and ... The Conversation, July 31, 2020, John Tyndall: ...
