climate change

Examines studies concerning planetary science, Arctic ice bubbles, migratory patterns, explores the history of human impact from the Industrial Revolution to our modern-day technology, as well as the innovations underway around the world to address global climate change.

"A vision of climate change unlike any ever imagined. Kim Stanley Robinson . . . he once again turns his eye to themes of climate change, technology, politics, and the human behaviors that drive these forces. But his setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world--rather, he imagines a more hopeful future, one where humanity has managed to overcome our challenges and thrive"--Provided by publisher.

"Ninety-seven percent of actively publishing climate scientists agree that human behavior is changing the climate of our planet. What are the effects of this change, and what should humanity's next move be? This book breaks down the complexity of this highly relevant topic into an accessible language level while providing content interesting and relevant to high school aged readers. It covers different perspectives of the effects of climate change and different arguments for how it should be addressed"--Provided by publisher.

Teaches readers about the many different types of extreme weather and how climate change is drastically affecting the weather.

"The past, present, and future of Earth is a result of climate change. Climate change affects our everyday lives, and scientists and young people are looking into what we can do to fix it"--Provided by the publisher.

"Climate change is rapidly reshaping Earth in devastating ways. Since the mid-20th century, the planet has been warming at an unprecedented rate. This informative book is designed to educate young readers about climate change, a defining issue of their time. The text features real-world examples of young activists who are using their powerful voices to inspire change and true stories about scientists working on cutting-edge solutions. It encourages readers to draw connections between rising populations and climate change, explore solutions to this global issue, and advocate for change"--Provided by publisher.

"Learn the science behind why it snows, how wind is formed, what makes one region hot and dry and another region cold and damp, plus lots more! By studying the atmospheric sciences of meteorology and climatology, kids learn to connect the weather they experience on a daily by basis in their town with the changing conditions across the entire planet"--Provided by publisher.

Landslides and mudslides are some of the most dangerous forces in nature. In seconds, these roaring rivers of earth and rocks can uproot trees, flip cars, and destroy whole neighborhoods.

"Journey to a place you've never ventured before--beneath a rock pile on a lonely mountain top--and meet the pikas, or rock rabbits. These scurrying, squeaking, industrious, and exceedingly cute mammals make their living harvesting grass and wildflowers during the brief alpine summers. But despite the remoteness of their homes, the pikas' lifestyle and survival are threatened by climate change. Follow the story of pikas, told with photographs and clear prose, and learn how small actions on our part can have global benefits"--Publisher's description.

Combines science and art to create a simple way for students to learn about climate change.
