As weather events become increasingly extreme, climate change is on everyone’s lips, but how can we take productive action if we don’t understand its many details? And how many of us have spare time to learn those details, let alone all the terms? Net what? Carbon negative is positive; carbon positive is negative – it can be confusing.

Paul Cook and Shawna McKinley feel you. They take a look at the frustration of not understanding and solve it with “Climate Change and Net Zero FAQs for Busy People”, an ebook for anyone who’s ever asked questions like this:

  • What is climate change and how is it connected to carbon emissions?
  • Are there any activities that do not produce carbon emissions?
  • 1.5°C of what, and how is it calculated?
  • What on earth is the Paris Agreement?
  • What do “Race to Zero” and “Net Zero” actually mean?
  • What does it mean to be carbon neutral?
  • What is a carbon budget?
  • How can an organisation use a carbon budget?

They answer a host more everyday questions and explain it all in plain English.
