Original Note:
The oil industry hired climate scientists to study the effect of CO₂ emissions more than 40 years ago. They predicted warming. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/ Alexander Graham Bell wrote about the prospect of CO₂ causing a warmer planet, borrowing the term 'greenhouse effect' from J.H. Poynting (1909). https://www.sciencealert.com/alexander-graham-bell-s-prediction-about-the-state-of-the-world-today-is-eerily-accurate
