Global warming in the public sphere
... Arrhenius was the first to identify the link between climate change, fossil fuel burning and rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2. He estimated that cutting concentrations into half would cool the world by 5–68C (Bolin et al. 1986; Weart 2003; Maslin 2004). This theory still stands today. Maslin ...
