It is fascinating that scientists already had an inkling of the damage done by CO2 emissions as far back as 58. That’s amazing. And it reminds me as well of the tobacco denial industry. Exact same meme.

Longer than that!

In 1896 a Swedish scientist published a new idea. As humanity burned fossil fuels such as coal, which added carbon dioxide gas to the Earth’s atmosphere, we would raise the planet’s average temperature.
