John w. Tyndall

John W. Tyndall was a 19th-century Irish scientist known for his work in physics and chemistry, particularly in studying heat and light. He explained how a substance called greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, trap heat in the atmosphere, influencing climate. Tyndall also demonstrated how certain gases absorb infrared radiation, helping us understand Earth's temperature regulation. His experiments laid the groundwork for understanding climate change and the importance of gases in our atmosphere, making him an influential figure in environmental science.
