Svante Arrhenius was a Swedish physicist and chemistist, receiving the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1905. He was the first to conclude that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide would increase the Earth’s surface temperature through the Greenhouse Effect and that human-caused CO2 emissions would result in global warming. In this, his last publication, he describes for the first time, the hot-house theory of the atmosphere.
