I, too, remember this. All the way back in the 1890s someone had calculated CO2 emissions and global warming. Also, the oil industry did in the 1950s, but kept the data for themselves. In both cases, they were right about the CO2 count at the end of the century, about 20 years ago. We’ve blown right past that number since.
Good question. I found an article that seemed solid enough a few years back and I wish I could cite it and did search a bit now. Of course I found a lot of general history on air pollution but not thst specific research I am talking about. 😕
This has been blatantly obvious since the 90s
70s.
The 1870s.
True. Early researchers like Svante Arrhenius were true geniuses
There’s even research from the beginning of the industrialization afaik if we were to go on it would have dire consequences
Oh, where?

At least they accomplished something in the '90s. And yes, I know it went into effect in 1989, but that’s essentially the '90s!
