Climate Change’s Fingerprints Came Early, a Thought Experiment Reveals

Scientific American

JULY 4, 2025

The first was that back in 1860, scientists in our “Gedanken world” had the technology to monitor global temperature changes in both the troposphere (the atmospheric layer extending from the surface up to about 15 kilometers) and the stratosphere (ranging from roughly 15 km to 50 km). We made three key assumptions.
