He has a lot of climate and environmental research and gives an accurate prediction of the increase in carbon dioxide content in the air, leading to a clear warming of the Earth. He also made the term " " become a popular concept after the 1975 publication.

Broecker, born in Chicago in 1931, was the first scientist to record the Ocean Conveyor Belt, a network of global ocean currents affecting everything from air temperatures to rain patterns.
