It was caused by erupting volcanoes that cooled the planet by ejecting aerosol particles into space. ]]> 2021-02-04 10:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163039006 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163058863 A Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius starts to consider the problems that might be caused by carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere. He realises that the burning of fossil fuels could lead to global warming, but doesn't think the process may have begun.]]> 2021-02-04 10:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163058863 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163085742 An oceanographer called Roger Revelle warns that humanity is conducting a “large-scale geophysical experiment” on the planet by releasing greenhouse gases.  ]]> 2021-02-04 11:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163085742 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163107184 The first major international conference on the greenhouse effect warns that greenhouse gases will cause a rise of global temperature which is greater than any temperature recorded.

Average temperatures drop for two years before rising again. Scientists point out that this event shows how sensitive global temperatures are if disturbed.]]> 2021-02-04 11:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163153104 sultaa226 https://padlet.com/sultaa226/lybtzl0s45bskn11/wish/1163180151 The hottest year recorded to date.
