Websites
General
- IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
- NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
- Our World in Data, research and data about multiple topics including Energy and Environment
- Science Feedback, a good source for online articles from “a worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction.” There’s a good explainer of climate systems in “Climate vs. weather a deep dive on the key differences.” D Burns, 2024.
News
- CarbonBrief provides a roundup of climate change news in a daily newsletter, or in a weekly digest (DeBriefed). There is good coverage of China, Europe, and the world. The newsletter is all words and no graphics (the same non-visual aid style that I favor).
- Yale Environment 360 is a good source of online articles on a variety of topics: climate, energy, biodiversity, oceans, food & agriculture, solutions, cities, policy.
- Boiling Point, from LA Times climate columnist Sammy Roth, covers the environment and climate across California, the American West, and the globe.
