The Science

The importance of being clear

Science. Evidence and understanding. A key part in any communication about the climate crisis – not only because you want to be able to communicate clearly to your community, but becausse you want to be secure in your own understanding. Conversations about climate change can often be unnecessary political, or turn defensive. I’ve highlighted a few different sources of information below that you can browse.

  • The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

    The IPCC relese regular reports and summaries which are then used by govenrments and polciy makers. Not the most accessible information, but they form the basis of many other climate sceince work.

  • NASA

    A respected source of weather and clmate information, the Met Office site is a good place for clear and accessible information.
