Books with title Changing Climates

This is the KINDLE edition of this book. There are also two paperback editions available: color and black and white. Earth was once a frozen snowball. And before that, a sea of lava. The Sun. Volcanoes. Glaciers. Meteor impacts. They've all played their part. The planet has changed. How do we know?Without humans, the Earth would cool. Massive sheets of ice would creep down from Canada. Sea levels would drop. Crops would fail.Instead, the Earth is warming. This will change how humans live. In some places, there will be storms. In others, droughts. Sea levels won't drop, they'll rise, flooding coastal cities. Corals will die, and with them, fish and sea life that depend on them. What else will change? How can we stop it?Children will become tomorrow's adults. They will live with the choices we make today. This book, written for children ages 8 to 14, tells the story of Earth's climate and how climate change will impact every person on our planet. Understanding the science is the first step towards protecting their future. At the end of the book, activities bring the science to life: learn how to slow down climate change, study how greenhouses trap heat, "see" ultraviolet light, and make your own ice core!Judith Hubbard is a geology professor with a PhD from Harvard University and a BS from Caltech - and also two young children. She started the In Depth Science series with the goal of making college-level science accessible to children as young as eight years old.

Climates have changed throughout Earth's history and will continue to change indefinitely. While some changes are brief, lasting only a few decades, others can plunge much of the planet into an icy wasteland or a steaming tropical jungle for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years. Many factors contribute to both short- and long-term changes within the atmosphere, and scientists continue to study the agents that impact the changing conditions of Earth's climate. Changing Climates helps readers gain a better understanding of climate and the global warming issue by explaining how the atmosphere works, how and why climates have changed in the past, and the consequences of climate change.

79% of people believe that the world’s climate is changing, but 39% believe concerns have been exaggerated by scientists. This book explores the climate change debate, the potential impact of climate change and the solutions to these problems. It also looks at climate change deniers, weird weather (increasing temperatures, flooding, etc.), the effect on nature and climate migrants.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our nations today—but what is it? Hasn’t it always been happening? What is making it worse? Why do some people deny its happening? The concept of climate change and all of its implications is discussed as part of the What's the Issue series. What's the Issue asks ‘what’s all the fuss about?’ It reviews what is at stake when we think about climate change, with the aim of helping young people to understand this difficult subject and provide them with the tools to inform their own opinions on the issue.
