| John Tyndall |
John Tyndall could well be one of the first people to know about the atmosphere scientifically. He set out to study the sky in 1820, when he left school. His studies led him to find out about the greenhouse effect. This is essential for life. The greenhouse effect helps keep the perfect amount of energy in the atmosphere. where does this energy come from? the sun. Our star give out more energy in a second than ever human has ever made biologically. To sustain life, earth has to send and receive the same amount of energy, which was fine, but recently with global warming, the greenhouse effect is wearing off and when this happens, the planet warms up. This is not new information, Tyndall was the first to aknowledge this and that was almost 200 years ago. if we continue this trend of warming the planet and leaving it for someone else to take care of, eventually were not going to have this beautiful green and blue planet.
