In 1856, scientist Eunice Foote attempted to publicize her research showing the link between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming in one of the earliest documentations of the deleterious effect of burning fossil fuels. …her research was selectively copied by men, misinterpreted, and ignored for a century and a half. The excuse men used…to dismiss her work was that she lacked institutional affiliation, which she lacked because of her gender.
