Ever thought to yourself that climate change would be so much easier to understand if only you could share in the insights of the Nobel prize winning chemist that discovered the significance of carbon dioxide? Sure you have.
Svante Arrhenius published "On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground" in 1896 which provided the very first calculation of the contribution of carbon dioxide to the greenhouse effect and speculated on the potential for variations in carbon dioxide to effect long-term climate change. http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Arrhenius_pdf Makes for an interesting read for the historically curious. I decided to put a copy of this paper online after discovering that I could not find an unabridged copy anywhere and was forced to order it from my university's long-term storage. -Robert A.
