What is Climate Change?  What causes it?  And what can we do?

The following list of web resources — compiled by lecturers on the TU835 BSc (Hons) in Spatial Planning and Environmental Management at TU Dublin Environment & Planning — provides some useful answers to these questions:

The Irish Environmental Protection Agency provides its own dedicated web resource on climate change with, for example, a carbon footprint calculator.  http://www.epa.ie/climate/communicatingclimatescience/whatisclimatechange/

Carbon Brief is a UK-based website covering the latest developments in climate science, climate policy and energy policy.  It produces clear, data-driven articles and gives an excellent summary of climate change related articles in the media. https://www.carbonbrief.org/

The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world’s most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.  There is plenty of useful information on its dedicated site to climate change, including a short video ’Climate change in 60 seconds’.   https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/climate-change-evidence-causes/
