References for ‘Dr Karl’s Little Book of Climate Change Science’
I did my first story on Climate Change in 1981. These references go back to before that and hopefully up to the present day.
If you want to know anything specific about Climate Change all the hard work I’ve done will save you a lot of time.
Chapter 1-3 references are available below. Most of these references are accessible online by copying and pasting the entire reference into a search engine.
References for Chapters 4-8 coming soon!
NOTE: While efforts have been made to trace and acknowledge all sources of information, in some cases these may have been unsuccessful. If you believe your material is not referenced, or if you think there are errors, please send an email to: mistakes@drkarl.com
