Description

Climate change is already having devastating effects on our planet. Droughts, floods, and fires are impacting hundreds of millions of people and causing massive economic losses every year. This book explains how climate change is making these catastrophes more dangerous, and why it's essential to take action now. Chris C. Funk combines the latest science with compelling stories to provide a clear and accessible overview of this critical topic. The book describes recent disasters such as heat waves, extreme precipitation, hurricanes, fires, El Niños, and La Niñas, and their human consequences. By clearly describing the impacts that are already occurring, Funk conveys a powerful message about the need for social change, while also highlighting the beauty and wonder of our planet, and offering hope for our collective future.
