To those of you who are AGW paper magpies, here is a list of some early AGW papers/references. Do we have these in the database. This is taken from a reissues of an old article By Gilbert Plass in American Scientist 1956 - I hope to do a post on him in the not to distant future but some of these from the mid 20th Century are seminal.

I'm pretty sure we have Arrhenius' paper.  I'll take a look through the database when I find the time, might be in a few hours.  Someone might beat me to it, which would actually be preferable I suppose :-)
