• Climate change in the tropics: The end of the world as we know it? (2012, background): “The first quantitative predictions of a ‘hot-house effect’ as a result of fossil fuel emissions were made by Svante Arrhenius in 1896 (who, incidentally, viewed this effect as a good thing), but it was not until the 1980s that a broad scientific consensus in favour of anthropogenic global warming fi”

• Tracing anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and cement producers, 1854–2010 (2013, background): “…warnings published in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s (President’s Science Advisory Committee 1965; Matthews et al. 1971; Broecker 1975; World Meteorological Organization 1976; National Research Council 1979; U.S. EPA 1983; see discussion in Weart 2003; Fleming 2005; Oreskes and Conway 2010).”
• Estimates of the social cost of carbon: A review based on meta-analysis (2019, background): “In 2001, thousands of experts were mobilized to attach importance to global warming, and this measurable phenomenon was emphasized that it would affect the weather pattern and even would probably get much worse under the influence of human activities (Weart, 2008).”
