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!

I'll see myself out

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.

There was no joke, just your malicious bigotry.

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.

Inventor of the Foote note. Not a lot of people know that.

Google has a page ranking, but it's actually a Page ranking, from "Larry Page".
