Nearly 70 years ago in 1953, The US #Atomic #Energy Commission published Energy in the Future where they argued that burning #fossil #fuel releases CO₂, which affects #climate & #sea #level.

They pointed out that temperature had been increasing, #glaciers were retreating, and sea level was rising, and speculated that it was due to rising atmospheric CO₂ from land use change and fossil fuel burning!

We've known for 70 years!
