Reading & resources Curious about more climate science? See below our recommended reading: Want to hear the latest on climate science from climate scientists? ClimateFeedback.org is a regularly updated blog that offers exactly that. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report from which we source much of our data is several hundred pages long—for reference, we recommend checking out the IPCC Summary for Policymakers. For an accessible approach to learning about climate change, we recommend the book The Thinking Person’s Guide to Climate Change by Robert Henson.
