Retrieved July 13, 2022. In fact, reality is now fast overtaking scientific models. The megadrought and heat waves in the western U.S., record high temperatures and zombie fires in Siberia, massive wildfires in Australia and the U.S. West, relentless, intense Gulf Coast and European rains and more powerful hurricanes are all harbingers of increasing climate disruption.

She published a second paper in 1857, on atmospheric static electricity, explaining how moisture in the air affects static electricity. Sorenson, Raymond P. (2011).

[35] [36] And why was Eunice Foote not recognised in her day? It so happened that the presentation of her work to the AAAS came not from her own voice, but from that of the then secretary of the Smithsonian Institution Joseph Henry—something that still baffles experts, given that women were not barred from AAAS conferences at the time. But her work was not entirely ignored in her day either (in 1857 she published her second study on atmospheric static electricity in the journal Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science ): in his presentation, Henry extolled the merits of Eunice Foote, and Scientific American devoted an article to her entitled “ Scientific Ladies – Experiments with Condensed Gases “, also praising the scientific knowledge of the researcher. By the 1800s, human activities were already dramatically increasing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning more and more fossil fuels—coal and eventually oil and gas—added an ever-increasing amount of carbon dioxide into the air.US Federal Census: Town of Seneca Falls, Seneca County, New York".

Following the unsuccessful reception of Taste, Foote staged a new production, An Englishman in Paris, inspired by both his trip there and possibly, as Davison suggests, a French play, Frenchman in London which he may have seen. [17] Here, Foote satirized the boorish behaviour of English gentlemen abroad. The play garnered wide acclaim and became a part of the repertoires of the Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres where it remained for a few decades. [18] While his success was becoming more solidified as a writer, Foote was also in demand as an actor, working at Drury Lane and Covent Garden during the 1753–4 season. After testing a variety of gases, including carbon dioxide — which was in the 19th century referred to as “carbonic acid” — Foote theorized that the amoun Holland, Peter.

She was a signatory to the Declaration of Sentiments and one of the editors of the proceedings of the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first gathering to treat women's rights as its sole focus. In 1856 she published a paper notable for demonstrating the absorption of heat by CO 2 and water vapor and hypothesizing that changing amounts of CO 2 in the atmosphere would alter the climate. It was the first known publication in a scientific journal by an American woman in the field of physics. She published a second paper in 1857, on static electricity in atmospheric gases. Although she was not a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), both her papers were read at the organization's annual conferences—these were the only papers in the field of physics to be written by an American woman until 1889. She went on to patent several inventions. In the late 1770s, Horace Bénédict de Saussure had used a similar apparatus to Foote's and concluded that altitude impacted solar heat in an enclosed cylinder. [63] [66] Joseph Fourier had theorized in the 1820s that atmospheric gases trapped solar heat. [18] Neither of them had recognized the increase in solar heat by CO 2 and water vapor in the atmosphere, which was unique to Foote's findings. [63] [78] In 1859, John Tyndall reported his more sophisticated research, using a Leslie cube and a differential spectrometer, showing that several gases both trapped and emitted infrared thermal radiation rather than sunlight. [6] [59] [71] His work, "Note on the Transmission of Radiant Heat through Gaseous Bodies" was published that year in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, of which he was a fellow.
