William Otis Crosby, Geology Notes on CO2 and Climate
| Title | William Otis Crosby, Geology Notes on CO2 and Climate |
|---|---|
| Description | Pages 116 and 117 of William Otis Crosby's (class of 1876) geology notes from 1874 including a passage on the effect of CO2 on the Earth's climate: “Changes in the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit would not be sufficient to produce such changes of climate. The true explanation of the thing is to be found in the constitution of the atmosphere - for it is well known that a few percent of CO2 in the atmosphere would be sufficient to prevent the radiation of obscure heat from the Earth’s surface” |
