Issues Today: A Changing Climate

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.

The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter is a page of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.
