Why Is John Tyndall Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Tyndall FRS was a prominent 19th-century Irish physicist. His scientific fame arose in the 1850s from his study of diamagnetism. Later he made discoveries in the realms of infrared radiation and the physical properties of air, proving the connection between atmospheric CO and what is now known as the greenhouse effect in 1859.
