THE BASIC SCIENCE
Due diligence with the empirical data and the latest conclusions of mainstream science avoids two dangers:
It prevents us from being too casual about the severity of the crisis we are in, and it prevents us from undue alarmism.

"The essential science
of climate change."
Not many have the time to read through complex and difficult scientific research papers. However, many would like to have an authoritative guide to what is going on above our heads.
The Climate Academy is dedicated to making the key points of climate science understood in a clear, step-by-step way.
Its founder, Matthew Pye, has written an engaging and comprehensive guide in a downloadable book of 16 chapters.
It is rooted in the latest research and data, and without compromising, the analysis breaks everything down into language and metaphors that can be readily understood.

This Student Course Book is freely available to download via The Climate Academy website.

Long-lived greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
Science can freeze frame reality. It can pull the past, present and future together into one place, so that we can get a good look at it.
The 6 charts and graphs on the carousel opposite (click dots) illustrate the most fundamental facts about climate change.
They are made from the baseline data that human civilisation is dependent upon.
