Climate change / John Woodward.

Summary:

Everything you need to know about the climate crisis Get the facts about how our planet's climate is changing and what the consequences will be. This essential guide explores Earth's climate, past and present, giving you the facts and figures behind one of today's most urgent issues, and investigates what we can all do to make a difference. DK Eyewitness Climate Change explains why human activities are making the planet heat up - and how we know for sure that this is the case. The book explores the effects of the changing climate, from more frequent hurricanes and wildfires to melting ice caps and rising sea levels. It shows how scientists predict how the climate will change in the future, and what actions we can all take to combat climate change. Stunning photographs offer a unique "eyewitness" view of the dramatic changes that are affecting the weather, the environment, and the way we lead our lives. With a groundbreaking visual approach, and clear, child-friendly text, DK Eyewitness books have been trusted favourites of parents, teachers, and school-age children since 1985. Now the series is having an exciting makeover, with a fresh new look, new photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness" feature - fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field. Perfectly conceived for younger readers, and packed with pictures, stories, at-a-glance infographics, and so much more, let Eyewitness be your expert guide to a world that is always changing.
