Glad you asked! Basically, imagine I told you not much had been built and climate folks don't really "get" software.
It's true. The same revolution that connected software and biotech is coming to the climate. There's tons of super duper obvious stuff that has yet to be built.
You would probably guess there's a great website for tracking carbon levels in the air. Like that's super basic right?

Well There's not...or at least there wasn't.
This was/is the gold standard: https://www.co2.earth/ https://scripps.ucsd.edu/programs/keelingcurve/
Then last year a volunteer team (including me) built
http://carbondoomsday.com
it's open source on Github, you could work on that! It's a bit rough around the edges still. Could use a twitter bot!
You could also check out our index at: http://airminers.org
The software is pretty simple right now but we could improve it a lot!
Software related to climate change got stuck in the 90's...and you can break it out! Build cool shit!
