Description: "Should climate change be front page news? -- Is industry the only cause of global warming? Can international co-operation make a difference? We rely on the media to give us information about climate change. But it can be difficult to know which news stories are the most accurate. That is because strong opinions exist concerning climate change, and not all scientists agree on what is causing it. This book will show how the news gets reported in different ways, and explain why some people think it is important to take radical action. What's inside? Primary sources and case studies; topical subjects ideal for classroom debates; and, ideas for further reading and research"--Back cover.
