Description
In our book and on the show, we draw a connection between our planet heating and someone’s body having a fever. We want to give credit for this analogy to Anthony Leiserowitz, Director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. You can learn about the awesome work the YPCCC is conducting here: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/Olivia also mentioned that most people (adults) in the US believe global warming is happening and that climate action is needed. Here is the source, as well as other interesting climate opinion maps from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/ycom-us/We also reference the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.P ºC: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/As well the Paris Agreement: https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/english_paris_agreement.pdfHere’s a handy UNICEF guide on the Paris Agreement for Young People: https://www.unicef.org/lac/media/19316/file/paris-agreement-for-young-people.pdf

Introducing 1 Point 5: On 1 Point 5 we talk about what climate change is and what climate justice can look like. We talk about why our planet is sick, what people are doing about it, and how you can help them. Climate change can be a scary topic because it’s a problem that affects lots of people and all the places we call home. BUT we’re going to have lots of fun with some INCREDIBLE friends who know A LOT about this problem, and EVEN MORE about what to do about it! Because everyone deserves to make as many special memories as possible on our shared home, Planet Earth. by 1 Point 5
