[Vision2020] Scientist John Tyndall, 1859: Experiments on CO2 Absorptive Powers

[Ted Moffett]

Those damn socialist climate hysteria democrat big government plotters were
hard at work even in 1859 to scam the public with pseudo-science on CO2
inducing climate change.

Quote below from website above:

In January 1859, Tyndall began studying the radiative properties of various
gases. Part of his experimentation included the construction of the first
ratio spectrophotometer, which he used to measure the absorptive powers of
gases such as water vapor, "carbonic acid" (now known as carbon dioxide),
ozone, and hydrocarbons. Among his most important discoveries were the vast
differences in the abilities of "perfectly colorless and invisible gases
and vapors" to absorb and transmit radiant heat. He noted that oxygen,
nitrogen, and hydrogen are almost transparent to radiant heat while other
gases are quite opaque.

Tyndall's experiments also showed that molecules of water vapor, carbon
dioxide, and ozone are the best absorbers of heat radiation, and that even
in small quantities, these gases absorb much more strongly than the
atmosphere itself.

For more than 150 years, we’ve known that mining coal and burning fossil
fuels produces heat-trapping gases. For over 120 years, we’ve been able to
put numbers on exactly how much the earth would warm if we artificially
increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. And it’s been more than 50
years <http://www.aaas.org/climate50> since the President’s Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology formally warned a U.S. president –
Lyndon B. Johnson – that building up carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would
“almost certainly cause significant changes” and “could be deleterious from
the point of view of human beings.”
