Climate Change in the U.S. Visualized and Explained (Causes, Effects, & Solutions)

In this video, I will explore the data set ‘Climate Change: Earth Surface Temperature Data’ in Kaggle that combines 1.6 billion temperature reports from 16 pre-existing archives by the Berkeley Earth, which is affiliated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I will be exploring and plotting the data in RStudio, discussing evidence to suggest rapid climate change in the United States, causes/effects of climate change, and potential solutions.
