• Global Weirding by Katharine Hayhoe
• • Helen says : “I should have mentioned these videos created by a climate scientist that are actually really nice and not depressing to watch. Watching Dr. Hayhoe is a very nice, friendly way to absorb climate science. She also does many interviews, writes articles, and is very active on Twitter.”
