Sample Sources
Climate Web Sources
Through the Climate Web you can acess more than 15,000 books, reports, PPTs, and journal papers. Most of them will automatically download from the cloud, and can be downloaded upon request. In many cases you can also take advantage of the fact that the Climatographers have gone through many of those sources and extracted key graphics and and ideas we’ve extracted from individual sources. A recent example is Mark Lynas’ updated book “Six Degrees.”
If you click on the link you’ll see a listing of the arguments, dates, climate impacts etc. that we’ve extracted from the book. A warning - there are hundreds of them. The real value of TheBrain software is not the number of thoughts you see linked there, it is in the ability to organize those thoughts in all kinds of ways to help deliver actionable climate knowledge.
You can see lots of other examples through the links below. They represent some of the thousands of hours the Climatographers have spent reading and assessing climate literatures so that you can benefit from those literatures in a much more timely manner.
