Do we have a chart for essential texts (books, essays) for climate change? If not, can we make one? I have legitimately no idea where to start.

that is tin foil hat shit, and you know it.

This site is right winged. Climate change is not a topic discussed here very often.

Fuck off.
Changing of the Seasons
Now that'd be a theme worth charting.
interesting idea OP
i'll contribute
Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is also available as a book, I assume that one should be a good introduction for laypeople.
Merchants of Doubt is a very nice, anger-induced non-fiction read about people who started as spin-doctors for the tobacco industry and then worked for the climate change deniers.
Mark Lynas' Six Degrees is very apocalyptic non-fiction about what happens "after" climate change raised the temperature.
OP here. If any of you have any links to reputable/respectable journalists or columns or essayists or websites that post articles on climate change, I will work that into the chart too. I feel like that's probably a better approach than 'essential texts' because it's such a recently developing field. I'm thinking like, Peter Singer, Naomi Klein, George Mionbot. Etc.

Surely Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth should be considered as nothing other than a cheap political stunt to gain more votes. It's like the equivalent of pop-science and shouldn't be on an introduction chart. Not that I've read it, but I watched the documentary and it was very obviously framed under the mechanisms of the 2004 general election and the American population.

Redditors Exposed: The Thread

there are still a solid core of us that are neither /pol/ nor reddit, have been here since the beginning, or at least the first /r9k/ exodus, and are not going away
we quietly post content, not frogs or cultural marxism charts

I didn't ask for a simple introduction for the world population, I asked for the average /lit/ browser, who I like to think is capable of critical thought and too curious for watered-down pop-science.

You can't blame the anon, the past few days most threads has been legit reddit-tier.
How is trying to make an introductory chart on a politically contentious issue, possibly the most important of the last four decades, reddit-tier?
>>7856213
they'll assimilate
it always happens
>>7856124
don't forget to photoshop up that chart, op
This seems pretty necessary judging from aggregate feeds I've been reading.

I've not read this, or anything on climate change, but my opinion is still important.

The economist inside of me really wants to read this.
Found this guy when he interviewed Thom Yorke about climate change.
