Had to look that up, and this was the closest I could get in a few minutes, which is still impressive, thanks for the link! > Arrhenius saw that this human emission of carbon would eventually lead to warming. However, because of the relatively low rate of CO 2 production in 1896, Arrhenius thought the warming would take thousands of years, and he expected it would be beneficial to humanity. It still seems that scientists at that point looked at it more from an interesting terraforming perspective and less like a looming catastrophy perspective.
