No one other than, Svante Arrhenius, in 1896. If you took chemistry in high school or university that name should ring a bell. He's the dude that introduced and defined that acids are substances that dissociate in water to form hydrogen ions (H+) and bases are substances that dissociate and ionizes in water to form hydroxide ions (OH-).
Here's the paper, http://www.rsc.org/images/Arrhenius1896_tcm18-173546.pdf, but aint nobody got time for that. Heres the important excerpt.
Also from Wikipedia
Just thought this was pretty interesting that this guy knew what was going to happen. He was highly respected in the science world, i wonder why world leaders and the industrialists at the time chose to ignore him. Walle greed and money turns men into monsters. Been thinking about climate change lately since it's so warm here. wallahi i love climate change tho haha, f*ck snow and cold ass winters

Arrhenius’s paper is the first to quantify the contribution of carbon dioxide to the greenhouse effect (Sections I-IV) and to speculate about whether variations in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide have contributed to long-term variations in climate (Section V). Throughout this paper, Arrhenius refers to carbon dioxide as “carbonic acid” in accordance with the convention at the time he was writing.
Contrary to some misunderstandings, Arrhenius does not explicitly suggest in this paper that the burning of fossil fuels will cause global warming, though it is clear that he is aware that fossil fuels are a potentially significant source of carbon dioxide (page 270), and he does explicitly suggest this outcome in later work.
Also from Wikipedia
Arrhenius estimated based on the CO2 levels at the time, that reducing levels by 0.62 – 0.55 would decrease temperatures by 4–5 °C (Celsius) and an increase of 2.5 to 3 times of CO2 would cause a temperature rise of 8–9 °C in the Arctic.[20][17] In his book Worlds in the Making he described the "hot-house" theory of the atmosphere.[21]
