Svante Arrhenius (1859 - 1927) was the first person to predict that global CO₂ emissions from burning fossil fuels were large enough to warm the planet.  Svante was a Swedish physicist and chemist.  For his work on the conductivity of electricity in electrolyte solutions, Svante was the first Swede to win the Nobel Prize in chemistry (1903).

Svante was also the first scientist anywhere to calculate the effect on temperature from changes in atmospheric CO₂.  In 1896, he predicted that cutting atmospheric CO₂ in half would result in a 4°C drop in temperature.  If CO₂ doubled, Svante predicted that temperature would rise by 4°C.

To plug your site or blog into near-real time CO₂ measurements, embed "The Svante" widget code available below.

"The Svante" is available in 16 sizes.  From the smallest (60 pixels square) to the largest (1000 pixels square), options double in size a few times.  And let us pray that our generation learns to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ long before it doubles even once!
