    On its 100th birthday in 1959, Edward Teller warned the oil industry about global warming. Teller, a Hungarian-American physicist who helped develop the hydrogen bomb, gave a speech to the American Petroleum Institute where he addressed the oil industry and represented the idea that carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels could have disastrous environmental effects.
