Svante Arrhenius (Nobel laureate)

Svante Arrhenius was a Swedish scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for his work on the relationship between temperature and chemical reactions. He also made groundbreaking contributions to understanding how substances like carbon dioxide affect Earth's climate, proposing that increased CO₂ from burning fossil fuels can trap more heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. His pioneering work laid the foundation for physical chemistry and climate science, helping us understand both chemical processes and the Earth's climate system in a scientific context.
