News Flash. Eunice Foote Foreshadows Global Warming - 165 Years Ago!
But some still don't get it ....
I just had to share this link that my friend Jerry Burke passed on to me last week. It describes a beautiful demonstration of how global warming works. The experiment, elegant in its simplicity, was carried out by Eunice Newton Foote - way back in 1856! Read about it here.
History tells us she was an interesting lady. Her father was one Isaac Newton. I was disappointed to find that he wasn’t THE (Sir) Isaac Newton, who reportedly died a virgin 😊, but she does seems to have come from a good family!
A pioneer of science as well as women’s suffrage. She was way ahead of her time.
Some dumb-arse men still don’t get either of those concepts. Even one failed ex president of the USA.

Hi Richard, H2O is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases and typically exists in the atmosphere at 10 times the concentrations of CO2 or methane. Extensive man-made irrigation systems added to man-made expanses of commercial crops and grazing fields have increased day-time ground temperature, adding more moisture to the atmosphere and causing at least 3 times more warming than CO2 or methane.
That's fascinating, thank you.
