The Earth Experiment A Handbook On Climate Change For The World S Young Keepers

A look into the history of global warming, and the domino effect down to minute organisms. With every rise in temperature, what happens? This book does not seek to tell young readers what they need to do, but to tell stories such that they will take on this knowledge as their own, and their own impetus to make change. The Change Makers series of books will build in children a strong sense of inquiry — to arm them with knowledge in S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to tackle this brave new world of unknowns.

A look into the history of global warming, and the domino effect down to minute organisms. With every rise in temperature, what happens? This book does not seek to tell young readers what they need to do, but to tell stories such that they will take on this knowledge as their own, and their own impetus to make change.

Temperatures are rising all over the world, and this book provides young readers with clear information about how our planet is changing, with inspiration, ideas, and tools for taking action on the issues.

For use in schools and libraries only. An award-winning writer of science books for children examines a topic that is on everyone's mind -- global warming -- and offers a book that answers many of the questions young readers are asking about climate change and its impact on the planet.

This comprehensive volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law provides an overview of the major elements of energy law from a global perspective. Based on an in-depth analysis of the energy chain, it offers insight into the impacts of climate change and environmental issues on energy law and the energy sector. This timely reference work highlights the need for modern energy law to consider environmental impacts and promote the use of clean energy sources, whilst also safeguarding a reliable and affordable energy supply.

From former longtime Scholastic magazine editor Jack L. Roberts comes a captivating and engaging new book that will help young readers (ages 9-14) understand one of the most important (and often controversial) topics of our time--climate change. Jam-packed with full-color photos, illustrations, and charts and graphs, "A Kid's Guide to Climate Change and Global Warming" is guaranteed to provide every young reader with up-to-date answers to all their urgent questions about global warming--what it is, what causes it, and how young people everywhere can help fight it. A must-read for everyone interested in a topic that Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg calls "...the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do."

Global warming is one of the most talked about science subjects today. Maybe you have seen pictures of polar bears or other animals stranded atop floating chunks of melting ice. Perhaps you have heard about or lived through extreme weather--hurricanes, floods, water shortages, heat waves, or electricity blackouts. Many of these events can stem from the world getting warmer. As that happens, the climate changes, too. This book helps young readers understand the sciences used to study global warming. Each chapter addresses specific questions about why the temperatures of the earth's air and oceans are rising. The information presented aligns with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: that most of the warming observed over the last half-century is due to human activities and that the impacts of global warming will be significantly negative. Using a question-and-answer format supplemented by hands-on activities, this book fosters an understanding of the complex processes at work in global warming while also enabling youngsters to think critically about their future. McCutcheon ends his book by offering young readers productive ways to think about--and act on--changes in the environment contributing to climate change. McCutcheon taps his mastery of a complicated, highly charged topic to permit young readers to become informed consumers of the sciences associated with the most urgent topic of their future--global warming.

Examines such questions as why global warming's a problem, how we know the Earth is warming up, how climate change will affect us, and how we can stop it from getting worse.
