Question: Who first discovered global warming?

A very good question; unfortunately the answer is quite scary.
The idea that carbon dioxide would make the world hotter was first measured by a lady called Eunice Foote in 1856, over 150 years ago!! Unfortunately we didn’t know how much carbon dioxide we were making and how much that was heating the world up; in 1975 a man called Wallace Broecker wrote about the damage we might be doing to the climate although some other people were also looking at it.
