Happy 201th birthday to Eunice Newton Foote, pioneering amateur scientist + womens' rights advocate from upstate New York who was the first to conclude, in her 1856 paper, that higher CO2 levels would lead to a warmer planet.
And her maiden surname is no accident: turns out she was a distant relative of Sir Isaac. Very distant, but still ... how cool is that?!
You can read Eunice Newton Foote's excellent obituary by @jswatz in the @nytimes here: nytimes.com/2020/04/21/obi…

@KHayhoe
I understand the need for click-bait titles but when the @nytimes asks, 'are we over-reacting to climate change' the answer is NO we are not. Global carbon emissions continue to rise and atmospheric CO2 is higher than any time in human civilization (15 million yrs to be precise).
If you are tempted to counter with, "but the pandemic ...!" please read this thread before you respond:
And if you want to know how truly unprecedented this experiment is that we're conducting with our only home, the home we share with 8 billion other humans and countless more living things, read: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

@bookletting @katemyoder @grist Oh lord where do I start! Alright {cracks knuckles} let's begin with @johnfocook. I recommend everything he's posted here the last two months on this topic, including his Cranky Uncle book!
@bookletting @katemyoder @grist @johnfocook Next, the Debunking Handbook he co-authored with @STWorg skepticalscience.com/Debunking-Hand… and then some of Steve's many articles on the topic, starting with his most-cited, "Misinformation and its correction: Continued influence and successful debiasing" scholar.google.com/citations?user…
@bookletting @katemyoder @grist @johnfocook @STWorg Steve is also well-known for showing that climate change conspiracy theories go hand in hand with other conspiracy theories. In other words, it's a symptom not a cause: faculty.missouri.edu/segerti/capsto… and researchgate.net/publication/23…

@Tessa_M_Hill @johnfocook And cognitive psychologist @STWorg has studied climate denial for years and is showing how it generalises to the pandemic as well
@Tessa_M_Hill @johnfocook @STWorg Here’s a webinar coming up! @darakass you would find it very relevant
