Climate change is everywhere in the news - and it seems like we should all know what is going on.

But many parents didn't learn about climate change at school. Most of us are aware of the impacts, but not everyone knows the science behind global heating. Where are emissions coming from? How is climate change causing both drought and floods? What are tipping points?

Talking about climate change - with our kids and elected officials - is easier when we feel more confident in our knowledge. Two projects have tackled this 'knowledge deficit'.

Science Moms is a US based organization started by scientists who are also mothers, and they've put together a series of videos where scientists moms answer non-scientists moms questions, openly and honestly. Check out the videos here.

Talk Climate To Me is a 'fun, unscary, team based Canadian climate communication project aimed specifically at women, whom studies have shown are both more concerned and less confident speaking about climate change. You can find a ton of information and watch recordings of their webinars on their website.
