In 1958 the Bell Telephone Science Hour was the biggest thing on American TV, featuring films made by the talented movie director, Frank Capra. TV viewers saw an avuncular scientist named "Dr. Research" answering questions from a character named "Mr. Fiction Writer." Mr. Fiction Writer was played by an actor named Eddie Albert, while Dr. Research was a Professor at USC named Frank Baxter.
On one show Mr. Fiction Writer asked Dr. Research about climate change. And Dr. Research knew all about it----60 years ago.
