Greenhouse Gas Emissions - History Of Climate Change Research

The video discusses the early discoveries of greenhouse gases and their impact on climate change, focusing on the work of scientists like Arrhenius, Tyndall, and Callendar. Arrhenius's calculations in the 19th century linked CO2 emissions to global warming, while Tyndall's experiments highlighted the role of gases in the atmosphere. Callendar's 20th-century research further connected rising CO2 levels to temperature increases, despite initial skepticism.

What challenges did Guy Stewart Callendar face in his research on climate change?

In what ways did Callendar's work contribute to the understanding of carbon dioxide's role in climate change?
