thanks for stopping by. As for the greenhouse effect, I add these two sentences. Joseph Fourier (French physicist and mathematician) was the first to theorize that the Earth's atmosphere acts as a "blanket" that retains the heat of the Sun, just like in a greenhouse, but the first to calculate how much the increase in CO₂ could raise the global temperature was precisely Svante Arrhenius, whom I talk about in the post.
