Notes

Summary:

In 1938, Guy Stewart Callendar was the first to demonstrate that the Earth’s land surfacewas warming.Callendar also suggested that the production of carbon dioxide by the combustion of fossil fuels was responsible for much of this modern change in climate. This short note marks the 75th anniversary of Callendar’s landmark study and demonstrates that his global land temperature estimates agree remarkably well with more recent analyses.
