Who invented global warming?

William

Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius, who first suggested human carbon emissions might effect global temperatures, in his 1896 paper "On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground." Arrhenius had studied the atmosphere of Venus, which spectroscopy demonstrated was principally composed of carbon dioxide. This thick layer of carbon dioxide clouds, caused by volcanism, trapped solar radiation and increased the temperature on Venus. Arrhenius then suspected carbon emissions from human activity on Earth might contribute to an increase in terrestrial global temperatures.

Same guy who invented carbon dioxide.

Global warming is caused by the expansion of the greenhouse effect, when the Earth's atmosphere traps heat that is radiating towards space. The expansion of the greenhouse effect is caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels.

It was discovered, not invented. Percentage wise there are fewer scientists who believe smoking tobacco has no harmful affects than there is no human created global warming.

Nobody. It was discovered by scientists who realized that CO2 is a greenhouse gas (as evidenced by the Venusian atmosphere), that the earth was once much warmer because of higher CO2 in the atmosphere when there was far more life on the planet, and that humans are reintroducing that CO2 gas back into the atmosphere at an industrial rate.

According to the Republican in charge, "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."

No one invented global warming. Global warming is a discovery, not an invention.

Every inventor of contraptions that contributed to it...

Maurice Strong for the IPCC. Total made up pseudoscience to serve a political agenda.

Forty years ago, climatologists said that global cooling was making the weather berserk. Nothing has changed, except for the fact that the scamsters changed the name from global cooling to global warming. They are still just as clueless and dishonest as they were when they were making money off the global cooling scam.

It was invented in 1987 by Ernesto Calderon in Lima, Peru. He wrote about it in a scientific journal and his article was reprinted in Science Magazine, which is the premiere magazine for peer-reviewed scientific studies.
