Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

Happy 200th birthday to Eunice Foote, hidden climate science pioneer

American Eunice Foote was an amateur scientist and women's rights pioneer from the mid-1800s whose experiments foreshadowed the discovery of Earth's greenhouse effect.

Yet the latest geological studies of deep ice now show that a CO2 increase historically follows temperature rises and not the other way around

@photo @Sheril Come on… This is well known and well understood. Its a part of the normal feedback cycles of the atmosphere. Where as today it is a driver of warming because we are dumping so much CO2 in the atmosphere. It is not some gotcha point that every one else has overlooked.

Welcome to the new global religion

@photo @Sheril Just science based on empirical evidence. No faith required.

@davebyrne @Sheril Odd isn't it how one set of empirical evidence can be in conflict with another, but that's science for you.
"Climate science" seems to bear some remarkable similarities with religions throughout history.

@photo @Sheril In what respect?
Fourier’s maths, Eunice Foote and John Tyndall’s spectrography? Keeling’s measurements of gas concentrations? Mann’s Paleoclimate temperature measurements? My personal observations of Alpine glaciers? Which would you say have common properties with religion?

You realise you're proving my point right?
