The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure said it believed the fish died due to low water levels, increased temperature and a lack of oxygen.
Since then, the concentration of carbon dioxide has in fact increased and the mean temperature of the surface of the earth has increased in pretty much the way Dr. Arrhenius said it would.

As near as anyone can figure, the Earth's surface temperature increased 1 degree Fahrenheit in the 20th century.
Since 1963, NOAA said the global temperature has increased at a rate of 0.27 degrees Fahrenheit a decade (0.15 degrees Celsius).
Natural processes involving changes in the Sun could have at least as powerful an effect on global temperature as increased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Arrhenius predicted that if the carbon dioxide concentration increased, the mean temperature of the surface of the earth would increase, in pretty much the way he said it would.

"I learnt that by 2025 the earth's temperature will have increased by two degrees, " said Yasmine, 13.
Such increased summer melting has an immediate local temperature effect, and it also will affect sea level.
Second, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere also leads to increased temperatures, and the warmer the temperature in the water, the less oxygen it can hold.

The likely reason for that failure is that while the models recognize that increased CO2 itself will not produce a big, catastrophic increase in global temperatures, the models assume that the very small amount of warming caused by increased CO2 will result in much larger temperature increases caused by positive feedbacks.

Crop yields have increased at a constant rate despite changes in global temperature.
