Who Invented Global Warming?

I know that science often works on a number of issues simultaneously, then finds they are related in some bigger picture, but still. Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web so surely someone must be able to claim they invented Global Warming.

I'm guessing that it must have occurred after science had established that CO2 output by Man was insignificant in regard to affecting global temperatures (which was known in the mid-Sixties) and was probably from a group of political agitators.

But was it from Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth or a similar political organisation using charity status as a front? It may have come, I suppose, quite innocently from a real environmental group with honest intentions, but they seem to only last a very short while (boson time?) as they get subsumed by politics.

Where did it come from? Was it really attached to the subject whilst it was still being investigated by scientists (as opposed to promoted by them, which is all they can achieve these days)?
