Physicist John Tyndall is often credited with discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3 years earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. climate.gov/news-features/feat… #history #science #ClimateChange

Happy 200th birthday to Eunice Foote, hidden climate science pioneer

American Eunice Foote was an amateur scientist and women's rights pioneer from the mid-1800s whose experiments foreshadowed the discovery of Earth's greenhouse effect.

An astounding image of our moment at the precipice:

Climate activists standing against the inhuman-scale machinery of the open-pit Lützerath brown coal mine, with a wind farm visible in the distance.

You see that thin line of light? That's the edge of the atmospheric skin surrounding our planet. All the climate occurs in that little collection of gases, and that's what we're flooding with greenhouse gas contaminants.

Just posted a new article! I explore the possibility of combining Compressed Air Energy Storage with Biochar pyrolysis for a "shovel-ready" and rural friendly energy storage regime.

Fire and Air: Combined Biochar and Compressed Air for Resilient Energy Storage

If you’re tuned into the world of renewable energy, you’ll know that rapidly building out global energy storage capabilities is a hot topic. With the rapid and long-overdue deployment of wind, solar…

#introduction
systemic consultant for organizational development and design. I think that #cooperation, #commons and #self-organization in regional contexts is the only is the only way to get out of the climate crisis.
I cooperate with different people/orgs in the area of self-organization, was part of a sustainable housing project for about 6 years (#MietshäuserSyndikat) and have quite extensive professional record in #developmentcooperation, #energy topics, #climate policy and infrastructure.
