Born on July 17, 1819, Eunice Newton Foote was the scientist who first published findings that CO2 traps heat. Her paper, “Circumstances Affecting the Heat of the Sun’s Rays,” was published in 1856. Foote's experiments with atmospheric gases and her insights about past climate were overlooked for more than a century. Drawing by Carlyn Iverson, NOAA Climate.gov.
