From a classroom slide deck to an open learning project
Years ago, I put together a presentation on global warming for a student to use in class. He never came back for it, and the files sat untouched for a long time. Rebuilding it felt like the right way to put that work to use — not as a one-off assignment, but as something anyone curious about climate change could explore, learn from, and act on.
My own background is in atmospheric physics — I studied how sunlight and heat move through the atmosphere, and how satellites like MODIS and CERES help us measure it from space. That's part of why this site leans on real instrument-style numbers wherever it can, rather than vague claims: it's how I was trained to think about the atmosphere in the first place.
Outside of climate and physics, I run Techbase Consultant Services, where I work across IT consultancy, web development, robotics, and — closest to my heart — STEM education for young people across Nigeria. I also teach and help build curriculum at my church, and spend a fair amount of free time on photography, football, and long drives.
A few other things I've built
If you're a teacher, student, or just someone who stumbled in here — this site is free to use, copy and remix for learning. If it helps you explain climate change to someone else, it's done its job.
