Supplemental Reading to read along with Climate Project curriculum?

Books are great, but I like the wide variety of reads I can get on BlueSky (social app) following "Ecology and Conservation" among other topics. What you get on BlueSky is a varied collection of posts usually linked to in-depth articles on lots of topics.  I'm enjoying the learn-a-little-about-a-lot approach.  BlueSky users are a pretty academic bunch.  Won't find a bunch of random posts (for now) about things we don't care about.

Hannah Ritchie, who does great work with Our World in Data, has written two books that offer really level-headed, data-informed outlooks on climate change. I really enjoyed Not the End of the World for additional framing on how far we come and the justification for an optimistic outlook, and am really excited to get into her latest Clearing the Air: A Hopeful Guide to Solving Climate Change over winter break!

I also follow daily the journalism coming from Heatmap News. Depending on the level of your class, some of those articles could be really timely to share with students!

Climate optimism has come up fairly often in my classes this year, so I just ordered a copy of Not the End of the World. Thank you for the suggestion! I also grabbed a copy of What if We Get It Right? since it was listed as frequently bought together. Has anyone read that?

Molly, I am excited to read Not the End of the World! And Heatmap News is a new resource to me - Thank You!

I have a lesson that uses Our World in Data - it's a great site!  I have students look at energy consumption by country to show that the US has long been the leader in energy consumption and that China has only caught up to us recently. I try to get them to realize that when people blame China they are just trying to distract from our own culpability. 

That makes me think of the infographic Who Caused Climate Change? that prompts students to think about historic, current, and per capita emissions. Could be an interesting jumping off point to then look at current events like the recent US withdrawal from the UNFCC and the Paris Agreement.
