Roger Randall Dougan Revelle (March 7, 1909 to July 15, 1991) was one of the first scientists to study global warming. Revelle co-authored a paper with Hans Suess, (published in 1957) that suggested that the Earth's oceans would absorb excess carbon dioxide at a much slower rate than previously predicted by geoscientists, thereby suggesting that human gas emissions might create a 'greenhouse effect' that could cause global warming.
