- Title
History of climate science.
- Abstract
The often neglected Guy Stewart Callendar (a steam engineer, for whom climate science was a hobby) was the first to bring together measurements of carbon dioxide concentration with how much the world had warmed from the late-nineteenth century in two key papers in I QJRMS i (in 1938 and 1961). David gave a brief history of climate science and how this has impacted UK Government Policy over the period since the late 1980s. Joanna also noted those who were sceptical of the importance of carbon dioxide (Knut Angstrom who erroneously stated that the carbon dioxide absorption bands were swamped by water vapour, and later ideas in the 1950s that carbon dioxide was being taken out of the atmosphere by the oceans much more than in reality).
