<P> The existence of the greenhouse effect was argued for by Joseph Fourier in 1824 . The argument and the evidence were further strengthened by Claude Pouillet in 1827 and 1838 and reasoned from experimental observations by John Tyndall in 1859 , who measured the radiative properties of specific greenhouse gases . The effect was more fully quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896 , who made the first quantitative prediction of global warming due to a hypothetical doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide . However , the term `` greenhouse '' was not used to refer to this effect by any of these scientists ; the term was first used in this way by Nils Gustaf Ekholm in 1901 . </P>
