Understanding Eunice Foote's 1856 experiments: heat absorption by atmospheric gases Abstract. The contribution of Eunice Foote (1819–1888) to early understanding of the relationship between atmospheric gases and climate change has become a

As for when climate science 1st considered that adding CO2 to the atmosphere could warm the planet, look to #EuniceNewtonFoote & here experiments published in 1856. Here's the link to my peer-reviewed history of science paper about her discovery. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsnr/article...

which we now call the Greenhouse Effect.

Yes - she #EuniceNewtonFoote is the Frist in 1856 presenting this in a trail, but still today mostly ignored from male climate scientists!

Same story everywhere, still today, …

but what we all need is a #FemaleValuedFuture to survive

Ancient bone-eating worms ate mosasaur, ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons:

Images of the trace fossil Osspecus eunicefooteae. The inset shows a post mortem burrow in the bone of an fossilised ichthyosaur (from the Cretaceous of the UK) as seen in a slice from a micro X-ray CT scan. The main panel shows a 3D digital model of the burrow made in specialist software (Avizo) by tracing the burrow slice by slice. The burrow is about 2.7 mm across.

Happy Birthday #EuniceNewtonFoote! 🎂
She would be 206 years old today!

We recently named the trace fossil #Osspecuseunicefooteae after her in this study led by @plesiosarahs.bsky.social on Cretaceous bone-eating worms:

Happy Birthday #EuniceNewtonFoote!

The Forum - A forgotten founder of climate science: Eunice Newton Foote - BBC Sounds The first person to link CO2 with global warming, and why she vanished from history

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:

Happy Birthday #EuniceFoote! 🎂

This remains to this day one of the most exciting papers I’ve ever written. Thank you for helping to spread awareness of #EuniceNewtonFoote and her contributions to Climate Science. 🧪💡🔌☀️💭💨🔋

… und dem Mathilda Effekt der Klimawissenschaft erliegt bis heute #EuniceNewtonFoote - die als ERSTE 1856 den Treibhauseffekt von CO2 nachwies - sie durfte ihre Forschungsergebnisse beim amerikanischen Kongress for Science 1856 nicht selbst vorstellen und wird bis heute von vielen NICHT genannt

L’incroyable vérité sur l’effet de serre : une femme avait tout compris avant les hommes et on l’a effacée des livres ! En 1856, Eunice Newton Foote démontrait déjà le lien entre le dioxyde de carbone et le réchauffement climatique. Scientifique visionnaire et suffragette engagée, elle reste pourtant largement...

🌍🔬 #EuniceNewtonFoote, pionnière méconnue du climat, avait déjà compris en 1856 l'impact du CO₂ sur le réchauffement climatique. 🚺💡 Trois ans avant John Tyndall, elle a ouvert la voie à la science climatique moderne. #HistoireDesSciences #EffetDeSerre #FemmesEnScience 🌱📚
