Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nation's committee, gives solutions on global warming, still a bit vague on what the solutions actually are.


I found myself at Charity Navigator typing in global warming as my keywords. So intellectual honesty, I did this back in November as well when I started to brainstorm the idea.

The thing then and now is the same - as there is no one solution, there is no one non profit organization that is working to stop global warming. Why this is seems simple to me: since there are many contributing factors to this issue, there are equally a number of contributing solutions.

So the answer for me then would be to create a matrix of charities and give in weighted amounts to each depending on how much impact each has towards solving this issue, right? Gee, with JitterBook just starting out, I'm not seeing a lot of money going to any one charity. I think it might be better to pick one or two and start there.

The link to Charity Navigator goes directly to the page of charities that match my search criteria. There are a number of charities there that look worthy of JitterBook's money, but I want to take a deeper dive before committing.
