What is the global issue of “climate change”? Why is the Earth warming, what might happen if we don’t take action, and what should we do now? This book explains “climate change” in an easy-to-understand way, using illustrations, while incorporating scientific perspectives from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report. Since the true impact of climate change is often not visible, it’s hard for people who aren’t directly affected to see it as their problem. As we enter an era of extreme global warming, this scientific picture book explores what governments, regions, and businesses should do, and what actions each of us must take to shape a better future.
