US scientist and author.
Already in her 1951 book The Sea Around Us she mentioned the Arctic was warming (but did not point to carbon dioxide emissions).
Her 1962 “Silent Spring” is seen as the beginning of public concern about the global impact of man’s industrial activities (as distinct from the war-stuff!).
She was, of course, attacked by the chemical industry for the usual crimes of (checks notes) being a woman, and therefore ‘hysterical’.
Died too young, in 1964.
