How the Female Scientist Who Discovered the #GreenhouseGas Effect Was Forgotten by History

in Gender, Science | January 22nd, 2020 1 Comment

"In the early 19th century, Aristotle’s Meteorologica still guided scientific ideas about the climate. The model 'sprang from the ancient Greek concept of klima,' as Ian Beacock writes at The Atlantic, a static scheme that 'divided the hemispheres into three fixed climatic bands: polar cold, equatorial heat, and a zone of moderation in the middle.' It wasn’t until the 1850s that the study of climate developed into what historian Deborah Cohen describes as 'dynamic climatology.'

"Indeed, 120 years before #ExxonMobile learned about — and then seemingly covered up — #GlobalWarming, pioneering researchers discovered the greenhouse gas effect, the tendency for a closed environment like our atmosphere to heat up when carbon dioxide levels rise. The first person on record to link CO2 and global warming, amateur scientist #EuniceNewtonFoote, presented her research to the Eight Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1856.

"Foote’s paper, 'Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun’s rays,' was reviewed the following month in the pages of Scientific American, in a column that approved of her 'practical experiments' and noted, 'this we are happy to say has been done by a lady.' She used an air pump, glass cylinders, and thermometers to compare the effects of sunlight on 'carbonic acid gas' (or carbon dioxide) and 'common air.' From her rudimentary but effective demonstrations, she concluded:

" 'An atmosphere of that gas [CO2] would give to our earth a high temperature; and if as some suppose, at one period of its history the air had mixed with it a larger proportion than at present, an increased temperature…must have necessarily resulted.'

"Unfortunately, her achievement would disappear three years later when Irish physicist #JohnTyndall, who likely knew nothing of Foote, made the same discovery. With his superior resources and privileges, Tyndall was able to take his research further. 'In retrospect,' one climate science database writes, Tyndall has emerged as the founder of climate science, though the view 'hides a complex, and in many ways more interesting story.' "

Hat jemand schon die Opfer des Zugunglücks auf die Liste der vom Klimawandel verursachten Todesopfer gebracht? Wir brauchen keine betroffenen PolitikerInnen an der Unfallstelle, sondern endlich wirksame Maßnahmen gegen die #KlimaKrise.

Samstag, 12.10., mein Mann ist mit Freunden nach Trier gefahren, ich genieße die Ruhe im Haus und verdränge die aktuelle Situation bis Montag. Das Schreiben der Krankenkasse von gestern kann ich ohne SMS vom Handy meines Mannes nicht lesen 🤷 #inmeinertimeline eine Dokumentation interner wissenschaftlicher Warnungen bei #ExxonMobile #shell und co vor Klimawandel, lange bekannt und ignoriert. Ein Frühdienst, ein Bereitschaftsdienst und Radtour mit Familie. Eine kleine Katze gewöhnt sich ein. Moin

Saw some bollocks on FB claiming that we shouldn't spend any more money on foreign aid until damages from Helene were settled.

I dunno, instead of choosing which human lives are more worthy of life-saving funds, maybe we should just make the a-holes responsible pay up? IMO

TV on flash flooding in Georgia following #hurricane #Helena (brough to you by #ExxonMobile): "There will be questions as to whether the city or someone else could prevent this water in these regions in the future..."

How about stop using #FossilFuels. Because that's at the root of increased water load and strength of storms in that region.

California sues Exxon Mobil, alleging it carried out “decades-long campaign of deception” over plastic pollution.

@politico reports: "The first-of-its-kind civil suit targets the world’s largest producer of chemical compounds that go into making plastic."

We all agree that storms and climate disasters should be named after oil executives, right?

Soo, since this is not (yet) happening... why not simply crating a bot here on mastodon for this purpose? 😈

We have all the ingredients at hand!

We need just:
- metereologists that know how the naming works and where to get the latest metereological events and their names. There must be some official source.
- lists with names of the most heinous fossil execs, and maybe one or two sentences about their achievements. With this we create a small database.
- somebody capable of building a bot that takes the official name and changes it into an executive of Exxon, Shell or whatever (the list is long, later Banks, Presidents, ClimateDenying Scientists... can be also included).

-> voilá, our ExecsOfClimateDisaster-bot is born

(the name is open for suggestions, too 😝 )

Come on, who wants to participate? :anarchyblob:
