Books with title Science Vs. Climate Change

Climate change has been called the single greatest threat facing the planet, but there is little consensus about how to deal with it. The problem is vast, the science complex, and the economic, political, and social implications of taking action are immense. It is an issue of particular importance to young adults, who will inherit the consequences created by today’s policy makers. This book addresses the key questions surrounding this issue: What is the basic science behind climate change? Why is it difficult for people to accept what is going on? What is going to happen in the future, and what can be done about it? Perhaps most importantly, the book acknowledges that the issue involves much more than agreeing on the underlying science. Climate change is an emotionally charged political and philosophical issue as well — one that affects how governments and industry form policy, the choices people make in their daily lives, and the kind of world that awaits future generations.

Earth’s climate is changing. Global warming is causing extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and hurricanes. Climate Change examines some of the major weather issues that people are facing around the world. It explains the science behind the headlines―everything from glaciation to the methane trap. This book also suggests some of the ways in which people can slow down the effects of global warming and begin to tackle climate change.

This new addition to Didax's Earth Awareness series covers an area of environmental studies that is highly relevant and crucially important to today's students and is included in all state science standards. What is climate change? How can it be detected and observed? Most importantly, what are its consequences and what can we do to help? This comprehensive resource strives to answer these questions and more through reproducible activities that engage students in grades 5-8. Each reading selection on one aspect of the theme is followed by a worksheet with comprehension questions and an activity extending the concepts learned. Also includes cross-curricular suggestions, teacher notes, and topic quizzes with answers.
