Climate Change: Adapting to Climate Change

Earth's climate is changing. People are adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. As a result, Earth is getting warmer. Storms are becoming more severe. Animals are struggling to find food as their habitats change. Some people are working on slowing climate change so nature has time to adapt. Others want to reverse it. Climate Change investigates the science of climate change, how it affects the planet, and what people are doing and need to do to save Earth as we know it. Even if all greenhouse gas emissions stopped today, Earth would continue to feel the effects of climate change for a long time. This is why it is important to learn how to adapt to these changes. Adapting to Climate Change examines the things people can do to cope with a changing climate. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. AGES: 9 to 11
