Hey climate colleagues! I am looking for a good textbook on climate change that could be used for background to create K-12 climate math questions. What are your top picks? @KHayhoe @aaberhe @HydroLejo @LeroyWesterling ?

Do we have "8 yrs to save the planet?" NO. First, it's not about saving the planet: it's about every living thing that calls it home. 2nd, there is no magic deadline where if we make it we're 100% okay but if we fail we're 100% screwed. Here's the science: teapaw.org/khayhoe/status/1104833…
When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.

The most important thing any of us can do about climate change is ... talk about it! What if I don't feel ready? asked @emorwee, at the virtual kick-off to Earth Week. No problem, I said, these key resources will get you right up to speed! (thread)
