greenhouse effect, atmospheric

Examines scientific topics related to climate change, discussing the greenhouse effect, the possible effects of global warming, the carbon cycle, and other related topics.

A summary that covers the science of climate change, what its effects are, what it will do in the future, and what can be done about it.

Provides young readers with advice on how to live more ecologically, explains climate change, and explores the resilience and adaptability of the Earth.

Presents brief discussions of various reasons for global warming and possible solutions, covering ozone later depletion, the Kyoto protocol, melting arctic ice, public transportation, green homes, ocean acidification, and other related topics, with illustrations.

Describes how global warming and greenhouse gases are contributing to rising arctic temperatures, and explains the repercussions and how it affects the animal populations that live there, which includes polar bears; and also details energy saving techniques.

An introduction to global warming that explains ultraviolet radiation, the ozone layer, the greenhouse effects, and how global warming can be prevented. Presented in graphic form.

Nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide are all gases in Earth's atmosphere. But what happens when there is too much or two little of a certain gas? Readers will learn how every day activities such as driving, heating buildings, and using aerosols release harmful gases into the air and how it affects the air we breathe. Meets Next Generation Science Standards.

Examines the phenomenon of global warming, discussing the greenhouse effect in its positive, life-giving configuration, and again as this mechanism is knocked out of balance by increased levels of carbon gases.

"We live in an energy-rich age, in which we can turn on a light with the flick of a switch or drive anywhere by turning a key. But, our vehicles, factories, and power stations, which create the electricity needed to light and heat our buildings, pump carbon dioxide into Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide overload from these human activities is making our planet hotter and hotter--and is causing the Earth's climate to change. Find out what scientists are doing to find sustainable new forms of energy that will secure our planet's future."--.
