The findings of which scientist in the 1960s corroborated Arrhenius's work?

  • Charles David Keeling

  • Albert Einstein

  • Marie Curie

  • Niels Bohr

Answer

Charles David Keeling's work in the 1960s corroborated Svante Arrhenius's work on the greenhouse effect. Keeling found that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had been increasing steadily since the late 19th century. This increase was caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Keeling's work helped to establish the scientific consensus that human activity is causing climate change.
