The original 1954 study predates broad public understanding of the eventual atmospheric consequences of large-scale fossil-fuel combustion; the 1979 update comes from a substantially later period and is best read in the context of the industry's continued development as evidence of climate risks was becoming increasingly significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Mark Jewett; 25-year update by Margaret O.
