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 and index. 505 0 $a Greenhouse effect -- The ozone hole -- Natural causes -- El ninÌo and La ninÌa -- Human influences -- Deaths and diseases -- Natural disasters -- Impact on agriculture -- Impact on wildlife -- Impact on coral reefs -- Impact on forests -- Impact on waterbodies -- Impact on drinking water -- Polar regions -- International treaties -- Climate in the future -- Adaptation. 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. 650 7 $a Climatic changes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864229 650 7 $a Environmental responsibility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913443 650 7 $a Natural disasters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033994 650 7 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034564 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055617.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323015825.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6521670DF5911E9BD2BF46B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
