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.pdf

Here’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
