Book Summary
Many scientists believe that Earth's climate is changing back to a warmer pattern, and they call the change "global warming." This book informs readers of the evidence for climate change, discusses possible causes for the changes in our climate, and touches on possible results of climate change. The author asks readers specific questions, encouraging the formation of opinions, and also offers ideas for personal changes people can make to help fight global warming. Photographs and diagrams support the text.
