William Ruddiman is an American paleoclimatologist and geologist known for his work on climate change and the history of Earth's climate. He is particularly known for his research on the impact of human activities on the climate long before the Industrial Revolution. Ruddiman has proposed the "Early Anthropocene" hypothesis, which suggests that human agricultural practices began to influence the Earth's climate thousands of years ago, particularly through the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
