“French chemist Joseph Fourier calculated that the Earth was warmer than it should be given the heat hitting the planet. In 1824, he theorized that gases in the atmosphere must trap heat. In 1837, he predicted that overall levels of warming could change depending on human behavior and activity.” — Paul Hawken
