Upcoming event: May 7, 2025

This foundational session explores the basics of climate science for journalists. We’ll delve into the definitions of four key terms that are often (wrongly) used interchangeably: greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change, and climate crisis. By exploring these concepts, attendees will better understand the role fossil fuels play in climate change, recognize the main greenhouse gases, and learn how scientists know our climate is changing due to human activities.

Join us on May 7 for a live training session with David Dickson, CCNow’s TV Engagement Coordinator and resident meteorologist, to learn how to incorporate climate science into reporting.
