"More than 150 years ago, scientists discovered what they termed a 'greenhouse effect'."

"Governments knew what was coming... In 1938 a British scientist published the first observational study".

By the late 1950s, the science about global warming was so well established that Frank Capra made a documentary to educate the public.
