Q. Trie concept of “Green House Gases” was postulated by:
Answer: Joseph Furier
Notes: The theory that gases in the atmosphere might increase Planet Earth’s temperature was first postulated by Joseph Fourier in 1827, a scientist who also seems to have coined the term “greenhouse gases.” But it wasn’t until 1896 that a research chemist by the name of Svante Arrhenius quantified the greenhouse gas theory and apparently coined the term “greenhouse effect.”
