Yesterday, I had a great opportunity to present the basics of climate science to a lunchtime learning club at a Big Company. I had 10 minutes! They were hearteningly engaged. Here are some of my slides. Two other speakers covered impacts and mitigation wonderfully. [Thread 1]

Having spent the last couple of days arguing that scientists shouldn’t waste all their precious time responding to denial, I have to admit that when it’s done well, it’s glorious. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
