In the past few weeks, Seth Godin (with the help of hundreds of volunteers) has released “The Carbon Almanac“, a massive book full of facts about climate change. Their goal was to create “a source of reliable and easily understandable knowledge on climate change…that you can share to create meaningful impact.”
Regardless your stance on climate change, their approach to this almanac was fantastic. Rather than giving theories and ideas and opinions about what’s happening, they stuck to the facts to a very deep degree.
For example, here is an article about “Food Insecurity”, explaining how a 1 degree rise in mean temperature could cause a 10 percent drop in crop yields.
The article itself is very beneficial, but that tiny “067” in the corner is gold. By visiting their website and keying in that number, you can find details and links to the exact sources where that information was found (here is that page if you’re curious).
It’s a fantastic resource and I encourage you to check it out. You can find it at most major book retailers, or order it directly on their site.
