The Military And Climate Science - History Of Climate Change Research

Post-WWII, scientists feared a return to the Great Depression, leading to a collaboration with the military for funding. This partnership birthed climate science, as the military was interested in atmospheric and oceanic studies. Roger Revell, working for the Navy, explored the effects of carbon dioxide on climate, providing insights into questions the military hadn't considered.
