you know, this was originally the overseas railroad built by an oil man named henry flagler. driven by the audacious vision that turning sea and swamp into paradise. man, if he could see it now. but 20 years before flagler found florida, a woman in upstate new york discovered something even more profound. her name was eunice newton-foot. she was a founding feminist, artist, and scientist who discovered that when you fill glass cylinders with different gases and put them in the sun, carbon dioxide traps the most heat. an atmosphere of that gas would give our earth a high temperature, she wrote. back then nobody paid attention to scientists in skirts. and even as countedless men duplicated her discovery, there was no stopping the industrial revolution. coal and oil transformed humanity, built the modern world. complete with overseas highways. but all that burning also built an invisible greenhouse in the sky. and thanks to all that heat trapping gas, just the oceans are absorbing as much extra heat as five hiroshima-sized atomic bombs every second of every minute of every day.
