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

But 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. http://www.climate.gov/news-features/features/happy-200th-birthday-eunice-foote-hidden-climate-science-pioneer #history #science #ClimateChange

#LearningBS, Volume 1:

- The idea that people have "comfort zones." They do not!

- The idea that people can or need to "unlearn". Forgetting is a thing - unlearning is not!

- The idea that "learning styles" exist. Everybody learns somewhat differently, but there are no "visual", "oral" or whatever types!
