Floods. Wildfires. Damaging hurricanes. The weather seems to be getting worse these days. But is it just the weather, or is it the result of a rapidly changing climate? In Is It Weather or Is It Climate Change?, author Rachel Salt answers five key questions about climate change: What is climate change? What causes it? How do we know it's real? Does climate change cause extreme weather? And can we still prevent the worst impacts? Young readers are then taken on a global survey of recent weather disasters and learn how climate change can be linked to each one. Here are the locations that will be studied in this book: British Columbia, Canada, and the Pacific Coast; Texas, USA; Mexico; Germany and Central Europe; Ethiopia; The Third Pole (Hindu-Kush, Karakoram and Himalaya region); Australia. But it's not all doom and gloom. Salt also breaks down the key adaptations that need to be implemented to prevent widespread disaster as well as the broader changes we need to make at both individual and governmental levels to mitigate the worst effects of a changing climate. With illustrations, diagrams, photos and enlightening text, Is It Weather or Is It Climate Change? is essential reading for the next generation of climate warriors"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 12 and up $b Firefly Books 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Firefly Books 650 $a YOUNG ADULT NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Earth Sciences 655 $a Juvenile Grades 10-12 Ages 15+ 650 $a YOUNG ADULT NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Environmental Science & Ecosystems 941 $a 3 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012755.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240703011437.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240702042518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C83061C383E11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
