Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Guy Stewart Callendar

       Guy Stewart Callendar was born on February 1897 in Montreal, Canada. Later dying at the age of 67 on October 1964. His father, Hugh Longbourne Callendar was a well-known physicist in Britain. His father was into the thermodynamics. But back to Callendar, he was a very good power plant engineer and his job was to find ways to how to make energy production more efficient. However, on his spare time when he was working Callendar read about Meteorology. Giving him a good amount knowledge about Meteorology. Then with the knowledge that he gathered he was the first the link global warming to CO² emissions. But since he wasn't recognized as a Meteorologist people didn't him the credit for his discovery. But then his discovery was later called the Callendar Effect. Some of his studies were based on the Swedish Scientist Arrhenius and his prediction the warming was most noted in continental interiors and less in the oceans. Also Callendar did observe how the temperature dropped year by year and when it rose year by year. Later leading to his discovery of CO² emissions and its connection with global warming. Furthermore, I feel that Callendar’s discovery was very important to the field of Meteorology because now more scientists are starting to look more into how global warming is affecting the Earth and how they are trying to help prevent the matter from getting worse.
