How many gigatons of carbon dioxide? (infographic)
David McCandless is a data journalist and information designer with a passion for visualizing information with the minimum of words. We've picked out his visual representation of the effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, but there are many more which are so usable in class for a number of topics.
Not only does this resource serve as a great source of accessible information for students, but his website also illustrates that STEM skills, such as those used by David, are useful in many careers which students may not associate with science - journalism, law, accountancy and so on. In fact, STEM skills and qualifications often lead to some of the more fascinating careers in these sectors, dare we say. Warning - this webpage is addictive!
