We take so long to learn...same as with the effects of excess CO2 release in our atmosphere

Forgotten Women of History:
Meet #EuniceFoote — The First Climate Scientist the World Tried to Forget!

In 1857 #EuniceFoote made a discovery that would one day change how we see the world. She was the first to connect carbon dioxide with a warming effect. An atmosphere with more of CO2 would lead to a warmer Earth. She was not permitted to present her findings en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunice_...

Happy Birthday #EuniceFoote! 🎂
She would be 206 years old today!
To be fair to @bbcnewslive.bsky.social, the Forum has provided this excellent episode on #EuniceNewtonFoote the first person based on experiments to suggest CO2 could warm the planet:

I transferred my tweets to Bluesky mainly to preserve this thread on Eunice Foote I’d started in 2018. I think some made it through but it got fragmented. 😐 I’ll make an attempt to find them all and post them below 🤷

Just set up a BlueArk transfer from Twitter before nuking my account, mainly to preserve my Eunice Foote thread #EuniceFoote 🤷🤞
More critically, greenhouse warming was first proven in 1856.

It can work. This paper I co-authored with Sir Roland Jackson about #EuniceFoote, the 1st scientist to identify CO2 as an atm warming agent grew out of a convo on Twitter before the fall. 🧪 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Two panels focused on Eunice Foote as a #climatescience pioneer and her role in the feminist movement; a third focused on female climate scientists at @ucsantabarbara, @brenucsb, & @eembucsb #WomenInSTEM #EuniceFoote
Had the opportunity to check out the Eunice Foote exhibit at @ucsantabarbara. I’ll share the interpretive panels (and some comment book “highlights”) in this thread. #EuniceFoote
August marks the 163rd anniversary of the discovery that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and would likely warm the planet #oldscience #eunicefoote #1856 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsnr.2018.00...
Many thanks to @KHayhoe for her low-carbon presentation of “Talking Climate: Why Facts are Not Enough” for @AntiochNewEng today, complete with new (but unconfirmed) #EuniceFoote photo and the latest #climatechange science from this region. I was honored to introduce her!
Latest on the #EuniceFoote photo search...fantastic suggestion by @climateMorrow to check out @smithsonian archives, maybe even rustle up a #AGU18 "search party"...

update: heard back from a @WomensRightsNPS Ranger who told me "there were no photographs of the First Woman's Rights Convention and we don't know of any taken later in her life;" was referred to Seneca Falls Historical Society...more later! #EuniceFoote
question: would it be worthwhile for me to try one of those DNA services? Could it connect me to other Elisha Foote relatives, who might have some historical documents in an attic somewhere? How do those services work, is that even possible? #EuniceFoote @kfdurham
