who coined the term greenhouse effect or atmosphere effect?
svante arrhenius
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 eunice newton foote in 1856. john tyndall expanded her work in 1859 by measuring radiative properties of a wider spectrum of 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.
greenhouse effect
the anti-greenhouse effect is a mechanism similar and symmetrical to the greenhouse effect: in the greenhouse effect, the atmosphere lets radiation in while not letting thermal radiation out, thus warming the body surface; in the anti-greenhouse effect, the atmosphere keeps radiation out while letting thermal radiation out, which lowers the equilibrium surface temperature. such an effect has been proposed for saturn's moon titan.
