The results of Foote’s simple experiments were confirmed through hundreds of tests by scientists in the US and Europe. It happened more than a century ago.

      Especially in a time where communication was sparse and took a while. So many women have been an important part of science, many were probably never even documented.

        You could say that they’re not even a Footenote in history!

      He postulated the greenhouse effect but I think it was warming air not CO2 that he was musing about. Foote seems to be the first to link CO2.

        Sounds like the name of a researcher with a French last name, who, likely being a scientist, would have conducted their research under routinely strict (i.e. not liberal) controls.

            I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I can understand Spanish & French if that helps you out.

              Get out of my country

              😂

              It started as a joke - who would call Fourier a liberal cuck, but I’ve got carried away. Sorry

        No wonder cuckservatives don’t believe in climate change besides being fucking morons. If a woman did it, it must be dismissed.

          I’m pretty sure they were talking about this science cuck Joseph Fourier who was a man

        He discovered that the earth is as warmer than it should be rather than freezing. The greenhouse effect is fundamental to our existence. No bad for a scientist in the 1820s.

      Google has a page ranking, but it’s actually a Page ranking, from “Larry Page”.
