🌍🔥 The Forgotten Woman Who Predicted Climate Change In 1856, scientist and women’s rights activist Eunice Foote made a groundbreaking discovery. Using simple glass cylinders and thermometers, she proved that carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat — and warned that if CO2 levels rose, the Earth would warm. She was right. Eunice predicted climate change more than 160 years ago. But because women couldn’t present their own research, her findings were read aloud by a man. Then history forgot her

The concentration of water vapor, Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas, is rising as our climate warms. But water vapor isn’t causing human-produced global warming. Instead, it’s amplifying it.
