- misja111 3y agoI'm not saying he was right, I'm just stating what he was writing about the greenhouse effect at the time; so unlike what OP suggested, he wasn't warning people about it, quite the opposite, he was celebrating it.
- melagonster 3y agothank you, I understand you displays his opinion, not yours. I wanted to make sure no people trust him here. In another way, there are opinions which similar to his opinion are a little racism. people who probably killed by typhoon usually are not western/white county.

- misja111 3y agoIf you're trying to argue with Svante Arrhenius you're too late, he passed away a long time ago. I'm just stating his opinion in reaction to OP, I don't agree with it.
- moffkalast 3y agoA 19th century Swede, caring about what happens to those colonial savages in the tropics? How irrelevant I say, sir! Remember, this was the era when Belgium was cutting off people's hands in the Congo for not making enough rubber. The regard for people in those regions was below zero.
