This arises when they depart from long - standing and long - accepted practice in response to contrarian memes (for example, by entertaining the possibility that a short period of a reduced rate of warming presents a challenge to the fundamentals of greenhouse warming.)
To name two examples, both John Tyndall — who first discovered the roles of water vapor and carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases in 1859 - 60 — and Svante Arrhenius — who hand - calculated the first model of greenhouse warming in 1896 — used this terminology in the titles of their ground - breaking papers.
