The 1920s will always be remembered for its speakeasies, Babe Ruth, Amos and Andy, Charles Lindbergh, and the flapper. This must have been a very exciting time to be alive, without the knowledge of what was to come, to only live for today.

The 1930s was a decade of heart wrenching poverty, the Dust Bowl of the American south west and FDR’s New Deal.…

Callendar supported Fourier's greenhouse effect, and his work led others to increase their reserach effortts into the concept of global warming.
