It’s a good solid little book. It starts by defining climate and climate change, then goes on to describe several factors that influence climate change, both natural phenomena like the tilt of the planet and volcanoes, as well as human activities such as burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees.  It gives examples of some effects already being felt, and predicts what is likely to happen in the future.  It concludes by listing thinks individuals can do to help reduce human impact on climate change.  It’s got enough scary stuff for readers to take notice of the problem, yet it offers hope by suggesting things that can be done to help.  For those people out there who don’t believe climate change is due to human activity, this book acknowledges that it’s not all due to human activity.
