Guy Stewart Callendar (February 1898 - October 1964) was an English steam engineer and inventor. His main contribution to knowledge was propounding the theory that linked rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere to global temperature. This eventually became known as the Callendar effect. Callendar thought this warming would be beneficial, delaying a "return of the deadly glaciers.

  • Guy Stewart Callendar (February 1898 - October 1964) was an English steam engineer and inventor. His main contribution to knowledge was propounding the theory that linked rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere to global temperature. This eventually became known as the Callendar effect. Callendar thought this warming would be beneficial, delaying a "return of the deadly glaciers. " Callendar expanded on the work of several 19th century scientists, including Svante Arrhenius and Nils Eckholm. Callendar published 10 major scientific articles, and 25 shorter ones, between 1938 and 1964 on global warming, infra-red radiation and anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Others, such as the Canadian physicist Gilbert Plass, expanded upon Callendar's work in the 1950s and 1960s. Callendar was the son of Hugh Longbourne Callendar, an English physicist who studied thermodynamics.
  • Guy Stewart Callendar, fils de Hugh Longbourne Callendar était est un ingénieur anglais spécialiste de la vapeur et inventeur. Il est connu pour avoir été l’un des pionniers de la théorie du lien entre l’augmentation du taux de CO2 dans l’air et un réchauffement climatique global.
  • Guy Stewart Callendar was een Engels stoomingenieur en uitvinder. Callendar bedacht de theorie die stijgende concentraties koolstofdioxide in de atmosfeer koppelde aan de mondiale temperatuur. Doormee breidde hij het eerdere werk van Svante Arrhenius uit de late 19e eeuw uit. Callendars werk kwam bekend te staan als het Callendar effect. Hij dacht toentertijd dat deze opwarming gunstig zou zijn.
