This page is something fresh for 2024. It is a space where I will share something that I think people should be aware of. Sometimes it will be a podcast you should listen to, or a film you should watch, or a news article you should read. All my recommendations will, of course, be about the wonderful world of energy.
This month, I present a quiz. The quiz is adapted from Gapminder. Gapminder is a brilliant independent educational non-profit fighting global misconceptions. They have put thousands of people, globally, to the test, on loads of different topics to see how much people know about such important matters. If you are interested in learning some more, I share the website link at the bottom.
Want to compare your energy knowledge to the global average?
Give the 10 question quiz a go!
Did worse than expected??
They have found that people are so often systematically wrong about so many important matters. People are so dramatically misinformed they joke that a monkey would do better! Or in other words, if you got less that 33% right, you would have done better if you just randomly picked A, B, or C.
They refer to this as the global misconception! And Gapminder aim to solve this. They have a bank of quizzes to test your knowledge and a wealth of resources to educate people and deconstruct the misconception gap.
Today, with so much information people passed around, it is more important than ever that people get accurate and reliable information.
So, if you to do one good thing today, go and have a look!
