When the weather changes day to day, how do we really know that Earth’s climate is changing?
This book shows the science behind the headlines — evidence gathered via flowers, butterflies, birds, frogs, trees, glaciers and more, collected by scientists from around the world, often with assistance from young “citizen-scientists”.
Young people, families and teachers are shown how they too can take action, making this a resource both informative and empowering.
This clear, detailed explanation demonstrates that we know about climate change through research by scientists and students at home and in the field — patient observation and investigations that lead to information about Earth’s climate history. — Kirkus ReviewsBooks about climate change typically start from the premise that students will only passively participate. Lynne Cherry’s book departs from this tradition by including middle-school children as part of climate-change science… The reader cannot help but get drawn in through the beautiful pictures and the belief that science is everywhere and we are all participants. — CLEARING: PNW Journal of Environmental Education
