We knew about climate change in the 1880s.

There, fixed it for you.



Thanks; I don't think I said that we didn't know about it before the 1980s but extra information is rarely a bad thing.


We knew about global warming in the 1880s?


Yes.


got a source for that?


Yes. The green house gas effect has been studied since 1856.

The 'right' is willfully ignorant. Not just ignorant because they just haven't been exposed. They willfully decide to be ignorant because knowledge goes against their religion.

"The year was 1856. Foote’s brief scientific paper was the first to describe the extraordinary power of carbon dioxide gas to absorb heat – the driving force of global warming."
