Description: "Our climate has been changing for thousands of years. Temperatures are slowly becoming warmer, causing ice caps to melt and more extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes. This has a great effect on wildlife, too. It's not all doom and gloom! We just need to understand what's happening. If everyone turned off a light or television, it would save energy and we could cut down fewer trees. This causes less pollution and helps to slow down global warming."--Back cover.
