Climate change

Informative piece by the BBC on fossil fuels, global warming, the causes of climate change and its consequences. The Paris climate agreement is not nearly enough to address the forthcoming problem. Look at the data and engage with your political representatives to do much more about it.  

CO2 concentration

Measuring stations are now showing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more than 400 parts per million – we’re baking in future global warming. Eliminating fossil fuels is necessary as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the more future global warming we create.

Naomi Klein

Regarding climate change and the consequences of climate change, the recent book “This Changes Everything” from Naomi Klein is a most informative read, though the idea that mitigating the effects of climate change is a rallying call for the political left might disengage the political right unnecessarily.
