CLIMATE 101 and CLIMATE CHANGE EXPLAINED IN 10 CARTOONS

Good new source provides the facts pretty well:

CLIMATE 101: The science is settled. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that man-made climate change is a reality. We know it’s happening, and we know why: carbon pollution is warming our planet and creating dirty weather like extreme droughts, flooding, wildfires, and superstorms. And we’re all paying the price for it in lives, livelihoods, food and water scarcity, and in every way imaginable.
What can we do? Reduce carbon pollution. Right now, scientists tell us that we’re on track to see global temperatures rise up to 4°C by the end of the century, with a shift to a clean-energy economy, we can still create the sustainable and prosperous future we all want. But we have to act now.

CLIMATE CHANGE EXPLAINED IN 10 CARTOONS: If you’ve ever attempted to skim the latest 30-page scientific study from Nature Climate Change, or tried to go shot-for-shot with a climate change denier on Twitter, you’ve probably asked this question with at least some frustration in your voice. The fact of the matter is, showing a visualization can be very useful in understanding a subject – or even convincing someone of your point of view.
With that in mind, we gathered some of the best cartoons to explain the climate crisis – and how we can solve it. https://www.climaterealityproject.org/blog/climate-change-explained-10-cartoons
