PRODUCT SUMMARY
Dive into an in-depth exploration of global climate change, and see how both natural events and human activity, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have played a role in changing our climate. See how climate data is collected, learn about the role of the greenhouse effect and discover some familiar and some unexpected sources of greenhouse gases. Consider experts views on the potential effects of global warming -- from relatively mild changes in the weather to more extreme scenarios, such as intense storms, warming oceans and melting ice caps. Investigate efforts to combat climate change at international, national and local levels. Weigh the effects of these efforts and consider what else can be done because the fact remains that global climate change could possibly be one of the most important issues of the 21st century! A teacher's guide is included and available online.
