Climate Knowledge Resources - Wikipedia

I think you all recognize how useful I have found Wikipedia in preparation for my last Predicting Climate Change course.

Wikipedia is run by the non-profit organization Wikimedia. This means you see no ads as you search Wikipedia. It also means Wikipedia has no special interest groups it is supporting, and in return receiving funds from.

So I encourage you to support Wikipedia financially, as I have been doing.
