From Climate Central & Sally Ride Science
Scientists and policymakers overwhelmingly agree that Earth's climate is changing. They agree that human activities are largely to blame, among them the burning of fossil fuels for transportation, manufacturing, and the production of electricity; the widespread destruction of forest; and the practice of large-scale agriculture. They also agree that the consequences, including rising sea levels; disruption of water supplies; increases in wildfires, droughts, and severe storms; and the acidification of the oceans are underway now, and could be harmful to people, animals, plants, and the worldwide economy.
This book represents a joint effort between the scientists and communicators at Climate Central and Sally Ride Science. Using straightforward language, we divide the issue of climate change into three parts:
The Science,
The Impacts, and
The Solutions. Everything you read in this book is based on the best scientific data and understanding available to date.
Climate Central is a nonprofit science and media organization created to provide clear and objective information about climate change and its potential solutions.
