Another great explanation about the change in climate and its causes is done on Wait But Why. They use words that humans actually use and understand. The article at large is about how Tesla will change the world, but starts off by explaining the problem with gas/petrol cars. I - nerd alert - especially love the graph of where our power is coming from and how it’s used. And the dog in the cave with pork metaphor is hilarious as well.
