know the Globe is warming from thermometers placed at various points in the Earth. This gives data from about 1830’s to current day. The oldest thermometer employed to find the atmospheric temperature was from Germany. But the disadvantage is we can go back only 200 years or so. To find the facet of climate before those periods, we use ICE. Ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland are drilled and studied. As snow falls on Earth, which is mostly Ocean, it sinks in due to higher density and so the deeper

Early Predictions of Climate Change From the time of the ancient Greeks through the 19th century to present day, the effects that humans have on the earth’s climate have been studied. Scientists have been able to track the earth’s climate change through out history. In the 1930s a noticeable warming trend was noticed compared to the average temperature in the 19th century. Guy Stewart Callendar, an English engineer, studied the changes in the climate and concluded that the human emissions of carbon
