So, there really is no drama in Tyndal’s discovery.

Formally, the Irish scientist launched his career as a reputed physicist thanks to his studies on diamagnetism, the repulsion on which superconductors or magnetic levitation trains are based. Virtually the entire field of infrared spectrography as applied to atmospheric science, beginning with the work of John Tyndall in the 1800's, is fraudulent. John Tyndall, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1860-1862, 11, pp 100-104. These works earned him the appreciation of Michael Faraday, who became his mentor.

Shorn of Tyndall’s insularity, this is a description of the ‘greenhouse effect’, which is now recognised as one of the major drivers of global climate change. Han ble første gang kjent da han i 1850-årene utførte studier vedrørende diamagnetisme. CO2 absorbs no significant infrared energy compared to water. The drama is in the mind of enviro-whackos. Claude Piollet, John Tyndall...) Début du 20ème siècle: des scientifiques (T.C.

Bill Butler: However, perhaps his most original contributions were … He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1852 and, from 1856, was a member of its Council. John Tyndall (født 2. august 1820 i Leighlinbridge i Carlow i Irland, død 4. desember 1893 i Hindhead i Surrey i England) var en irsk fysiker som gjorde betydelige bidrag innenfor flere forskjellige felter, spesielt elektromagnetisk stråling og atmosfærefysikk. JMcG: Unlike H2O which has a huge capacity to absorb IR energy, CO2’s capacity to absorb radiation is small. John Tyndall was already a familiar and well-known scientist among the growing number of scientific clubs, societies and institutions of London in mid-Victorian Britain (Lightman, 2007). 12.
