Weather is the state of the atmosphere of a particular region. The factors that contribute to the weather of a given place are rainfall, temperature, air pressure, and humidity. Weather changes every day. Climate change, however, is a much more complex phenomenon, with great consequences on ecology. The rise in global temperatures over the decades has proved that climate is indeed changing. Much of this change is attributed to various human activities. Adapting to climate change is not always easy, but there is no alternative than to adjust. To prevent further damage, people need to adopt a more responsible attitude toward nature and restrict the activities that harm it in the longer run."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 46) and index. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Environmental responsibility $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66B238A6AA6F11EC998F19923AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
