From the Paper:

"Global warming has been the subject of much debate since the concept of the greenhouse effect was first introduced by Nobel prize winning scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896. Inspired by the onset of the industrial revolution, Arrhenius theorized that the earth's temperature would rise as a result of the mass consumption of fossil fuels. However, he postulated that humanity would flourish in a warmer climate, whereas there is a growing consensus in the scientific community today that just the opposite is the case. "
