What Is Climate Change?
ByPublisher Description
Learn more about what climate change means and how it's affecting our planet.
The earth is definitely getting warmer. There's no argument about that, but who or what is the cause? And why has climate change become a political issue? Are humans at fault? Is this just a natural development? While the vast majority of scientists who study the environment agree that humans play a large part in climate change, there is a counterargument. Author Gail Herman presents both sides of the debate in this fact-based, fair-minded, and well-researched book that looks at the subject from many perspectives, including scientific, social, and political.

“A great introduction to climate change for anyone wanting to learn more about it.”
“Maggie wanted to give this a five but I’m giving it a four because I wish there were more solutions. There was a lot of good facts without many thing we can do to change it.
Maggie says: this was about how the Earth’s climate is changing from greenhouse gasses. The polar bear’s ice is melting and they are thinner and weaker. Water is drying up but the seas are rising. Coral is bleaching. There is extreme weather. Humans are the cause and we need to stop polluting. I’m going to plant a tree and turn off the lights and water when I leave the house.”
“very interesting YA read. a quick read as well.
it gives a lot of detail and thoroughly explains the issues with climate change, weather, why it happens and why it's a big issue, not just in the now but the long term as well. and most importantly what we and companies would do to reverse it or at least make it better.”
