Global Warming, a Century Long Debate?

You are likely familiar with The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  The book was first published in 1925 which, I thought, was well before the debate over global warming began.

Based on this passage from the book I was wrong:

"I read somewhere that the sun's getting hotter every year," said Tom genially.  "It seems that pretty soon the earth's going to fall into the sun-or wait a minute-it's just the opposite-the sun's getting colder every year."
