History
Global Warming: How Much and Why?
This 1990 article from the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences addresses the prospect of climate change from a historical perspective. It discusses climate science pioneers such as Jean Baptiste-Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), the scientist who first recognized the mechanism that allows the Earth’s atmosphere to capture solar energy, and Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927), who first recognized that human CO emissions might enhance this mechanism. NASA Earth Observatory: On the Shoulders of Giants
This site provides brief biographies of important figures in the history of climate science, as well as bibliographical references and web links. The climate "giants" include: Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) , who not only experimented with lightning and electricity, but also suggested ways in which forest clearing and volcanic eruptions might affect climate; John Tyndall (1820-1893) , an Irish scientist who performed experiments that examined how well different gases absorb heat. Tyndall determined that water vapor and carbon dioxide were excellent conductors of heat, which led him to suppose that, if the earth’s atmosphere were devoid of water vapor, the planet would be in a deep freeze. Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) , the first person to argue that human-caused changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide could alter the Earth’s energy budget. A subsequent page discusses

Tyndall's Apparatus
The tag on this apparatus at the University of Vermont says that it is Tyndall's Apparatus, but I have not yet found it in a catalogue under that name. The apparatus was designed to test the deformation and breaking strength of rods. Turning the screw will exert a force on the rod held in the left-hand side of the apparatus. "Tyndall" is John Tyndall (1820-1893), the Irish researcher, writer and lecturer who was the Professor of Natural Philosophy at the Royal Institution in London and later the director of the Royal Institution. His books on heat, optics and sound were widely read and admired. This apparatus may be a consequence of his studies of the effects of pressure on slate dating from the middle 1850s.

Tyndall's Water-Boiling Apparatus This is a Mechanical Equivalent of Heat demonstration. A [missing] belt connects the two pulleys, and allows the smaller pulley to be driven at a high rotation rate as the hand-crank is turned. Projecting upward from the smaller pulley is a thin-walled brass pipe, partly filled with water and closed with a cork. Two pieces of oak, hinged together, surround the pipe and are held in place by the hand of the demonstrator. The work done in turning the crank against the frictional torque serves to heat the water to boiling, whereupon the cork pops out. John Tyndall (1820-1893) was a native of Ireland who is best known for his series of lectures at the Royal Institution of London, and the books which he wrote on optics, electricity and heat. This remnant of the demonstration is at the University of Texas at Austin.It is from the earlier part of the twentieth century and is unmarked. The 1928 Welch catalogue describes a similar piece of apparatus as COUNT RUMFORD'S EXPERIMENT, Tyndall's Friction Cylinder

Blodgett, Katharine (Burr)
An industrial physicist and physical chemist who is known for her work in surface chemistry. She is especially known for her work in monomolecular and multilayer films (termed "Blodgett films") and her invention of non-reflecting ("invisible") glass, which is used in optical instruments.
Brown, Robert
Although primarily a botanist, Brown is known to colloid science for his 1827 discovery that dispersed particles in water move about randomly, even when the water itself appears motionless. The phenomenon, explained later by others, is due to bombardments of the particles by water molecules and is known as Brownian motion.
Coulter, Wallace
An electrical engineer best known as the discoverer of the Coulter principle, a sensing-zone method for automatically counting and sizing microscopic particles suspended in a liquid. He developed this into the "Coulter Counter" which was first applied to the complete blood count diagnostic test, and later applied to other colloids in a variety of other industries.

Review
Mr Trotter discovered in the archives of Haslemere Museum a remarkable collection of notes and newspaper cuttings left by local journalist William Sillick, who died in 1955. It made him realise what an astounding flurry of important literary activity there had been in the neighbourhood of Haslemere during the fifty years or more following the arrival of the railway in 1859, and from this the book was conceived.
The book is organised into four main sections: a brief local chronology from 1859 through to the start of the First World War; a short discussion of the politics and other issues in vogue during the period; biographical notes on each of the writers; and an appendix of references and other more general notes, including a superb 20-page index.
It is a pleasure to read. Bob Trotter has not only encapsulated the essentials of these people’s lives in his pages, but also given us the benefit of his medical training to add his own fascinating personal comments. And in these days of generally slap-dash editing, it is nice for once to find a book where so much care and attention has obviously been taken in checking presentation and content before publication.

Why is the sky blue, and sunsets golden?
The color of our sky is caused by the interplay of blue-light-scattering by air molecules, and white-light-scattering by water drops and dust... Blue wavelengths are generally scattered down toward the earth. This makes the sky appear blue wherever it is daytime (and the sun is high in the sky). At sunset, however, the opposite occurs. Glowing beam of the "bat signal," as imagined in a 1950's comic book cover. In reality, rays of light are invisible in the vacuum of space. In earth's atmosphere, however, the rays of our sun are faintly visible, spanning across our planet... appearing as a blue sky.
Leonardo da Vinci had observed that a very fine water spray produced light scattering, but for many centuries only confusing and misleading ideas abounded. The English experimentalist John Tyndall (1820-1893) demonstrated that the scattering from particles small compared to the wavelength of light depends on the wavelength, with blue being much more strongly scattered than red.
Why are sunsets red?

Anna Crozier is researching a PhD. on the Colonial Medical Service in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika, c.1899-1939. Her thesis examines both the perceived and real experiences to be had as a Colonial Medical Officer and compares and contrasts the perceptions of the Colonial Office with the actual 'ground level' experiences of the doctors. She is particularly interested in the development of colonial (medical) identities, the transmission of medical knowledge within the context of Empire, and the influence of the full-circle transportation of that
medical knowledge from the colonial African periphery back to the Colonial Office and, subsequently, into frequently generalised perceptions of colonial health held by British people.

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/Giants/Tyndall
In January 1859, Tyndall began studying the radiative properties of various gases. Part of his experimentation included the construction of the first ratio spectrophotometer, which he used to measure the absorptive powers of gases such as water vapor, "carbonic acid" (now known as carbon dioxide), ozone, and hydrocarbons. Among his most important discoveries were the vast differences in the abilities of "perfectly colorless and invisible gases and vapors" to absorb and transmit radiant heat. He noted that oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen are almost transparent to radiant heat while other gases are quite opaque. Tyndall's experiments also showed that molecules of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone are the best absorbers of heat radiation, and that even in small quantities, these gases absorb much more strongly than the atmosphere itself. He concluded that among the constituents of the atmosphere, water vapor is the strongest absorber of radiant heat and is therefore the most important gas controlling Earth's surface temperature. He said, without water vapor, the Earth's surface would be "held fast in the iron grip of frost." He later speculated on how fluctuations in water vapor and carbon dioxide could be related to climate change.
The above graphs show the percentage of radiation that gases found in the Earth's atmosphere absorb. Methane (CH
