Tyndall gave credit to Claude Pouillet's work on solar radiation through the atmosphere, but appeared to be unaware of Foote's work, or did not think it was relevant. [59] [68] Tyndall made no mention of water vapor, carbon dioxide, or climate until his fourth publication on the topic which appeared in the French-language journal Bibliothèque Universelle de Genève in 1859, [80] and even there, did not make a connection with climate change. [81] After conducting further tests, in 1861 his seminal work on climate, "The Bakerian Lecture: On the Absorption and Radiation of Heat by Gases and Vapours, and on the Physical Connexion of Radiation, Absorption, and Conduction" was presented as a lecture to the Royal Society. It was published later that year in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. [67] [80] "On a New Source of Electrical Excitation" [ edit ] 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. Goodwin, Nathaniel (1849). The Foote Family.

Foote conducted a simple experiment. She put a thermometer in each of two glass cylinders, pumped carbon dioxide gas into one and air into the other and set the cylinders in the Sun. The cylinder containing carbon dioxide got much hotter than the one with air, and Foote realized that carbon dioxide would strongly absorb heat in the atmosphere. Instead, another scientist, a man, of course, swept in three years later to take credit for her work. Foote Defined The Greenhouse Effect But in other respects, Eunice Foote would remain a footnote in the history books. That notation would say that she was also a science-loving woman; her surname is no coincidence, as her father was apparently a distant relative of Sir Isaac Newton, and in fact bore the same first name as him. Among Eunice’s influences was Amos Eaton, who is credited with introducing higher education in science in the USA. Trained in science but without a university degree—which at the time was an avenue generally closed to women—Eunice spent part of her time experimenting, publishing the first two physics studies by a woman in the US, and dreaming up inventions such as a filling for the soles of shoes and boots to prevent squeaking when walking.

Among other students of the Troy Female Seminary was future women's right activist Elizabeth Cady, (later Stanton), who attended in 1830. [12] Cady's sister Margaret attended the school between 1834 and 1836, and another sister Catharine attended between 1835 and 1837. [13] The fifty-year memorial publication Emma Willard and her Pupils or Fifty Years of Troy Female Seminary 1822–1872 (1898) does not mention Newton, but the introduction explains that a committee divided some 7,000 students into geographic regions and committee members attempted to research the students. Inquiries were made of living pupils, family members, friends, and officials who might have information on known students. Biographies included in the work were culled from personal correspondence received from the queries of committee members. [14] The introduction also notes that records of graduates prior to 1843 were sporadically kept, as diplomas were not granted until that year. [15] At the time of the publication in 1898, Foote had been dead for a decade. [16] [17] Two rival actresses captured the attention of London audiences and Foote's satire. Peg Woffington and George Anne Bellamy apparently took their roles rather seriously in a production of Nathaniel Lee's The Rival Queens. When Bellamy's Parisian fashions began to upstage Woffington, Bellamy was driven offstage by a dagger-wielding Woffington thus providing a source for Foote's The Green-Room Squabble or a Battle Royal between the Queen of Babylon and the Daughter of Darius. The text of this farce is now lost. [18] Personal". Democrat and Chronicle. Rochester, New York. April 23, 1874. p.4 .

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. After marrying attorney Elisha Foote in 1841, Foote settled in Seneca Falls, New York. 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.

Nils Ekholm, a Swedish meteorologist, agreed, writing in 1901 that "The present burning of pit-coal is so great that if it continues … it must undoubtedly cause a very obvious rise in the mean temperature of the earth." Ekholm also noted that carbon dioxide acted in a layer high in the atmosphere, above water vapor layers, where small amounts of carbon dioxide mattered.Herrmann, Ulrike (December 13, 2019).

Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Foote’s 1856 paper was the first in history to publicly theorize on what we now call the “greenhouse gas effect.”And that was all there was until 2010. In that year, retired geologist Raymond Sorenson, a keen collector of old technical books, which he stored in his basement in Oklahoma, was reading a copy of the 1857 edition of the Annual Scientific Discovery , edited by engineer David A. Wells. There he found Eunice Newton Foote’s first paper, published the previous year in The American Journal of Science and Arts and curiously preceded by one by her own husband. Both were on the study of heat from the Sun’s rays, and both had been read on 23 August 1856 before the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, publisher of Science magazine). A study by Newton published in 1856 and rediscovered in 2010 presented some groundbreaking experiments in climate change science. Image. Imagen: Wikimedia
