What Tyndall had demonstrated for the first time was that gases in the atmosphere absorb heat to very different degrees; he had discovered the molecular basis of the greenhouse effect. Its ...

Using special apparatus Tyndall was able to replicate the effect of infrared radiation from the earth’s surface and more precisely measure its absorption and emission by various gasses.

Although physicist John Tyndall is often credited with discovering the greenhouse effect, Eunice Newton Foote Foote's work on the subject was presented to the American Association for the ...

The discovery of the greenhouse effect is often attributed to physicist John Tyndall, who carried out a series of experiments in 1859 looking at how heat affected air. However, in 2011 ...
