Eunice Foote was the first to describe the power of carbon dioxide gas to absorb heat.

Carbon dioxide is an odorless, tasteless, transparent gas that forms when people burn fuels, including coal, oil, gasoline and wood.

The idea that the atmosphere trapped heat was known, but not the cause of today ’s climate change.

Politicians have been slow to respond to the threat of climate change, says Sylvia Dee .

The megadrought and heat waves in the western U.S. , record high temperatures and zombie fires in Siberia are all harbingers of increasing climate disruption.

A rare female scientist in her time, Eunice Foote , explicitly warned about the basic science 165 years ago .
