Making Climate and Data Science Accessible

From Engaging Guides to Fashion and Apps

Our commitment to accessibility shines through in initiatives like the Skeptics Guide to Climate Change, which addresses common objections in a clear, evidence-based manner. Innovative projects, such as couture pieces inspired by our data and user-friendly guides transform complex climate issues into relatable, impactful stories. Find out more below.

Berkeley Earth’s Skeptics Guide to Climate Change has long provided clear and accessible insights into climate science, helping to address common misconceptions and foster informed discussions. While the science has progressed since it’s creation in 2014, , it remains a valuable resource that continues to offer foundational explanations for understanding the complexities of climate change

Berkeley Earth makes our surface temperature data set accessible on Kaggle, providing students of data science with valuable resources to explore and analyze real-world climate trends and contribute to the global understanding of climate change.

In collaboration with fashion designer Emma Viedma and the World Wildlife Fund Paraguay, our data visualizations inspired The Global Warming Collection. This couture line aims to raise awareness about global warming and was recognized by Fast Company as a World Changing Idea in March 2022. Discover The Global Warming Collection.
