  This is an excellent resource I cannot recommend highly enough. MacKay's death in 2016 was a tragedy to the UK and world.

  There are numerous videos of him presenting on the book as well which might be useful to some:

  David Mackay would be appalled to see the climate change deniers that have fixated on a motivated misreading of his book. A stark warning of how "lets just stick to the numbers and facts" collides with billion dollar disinformation campaigns.
