What Is Climate Change?

---

What Is Climate Change? by Gail Herman is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to one of the most urgent issues facing the modern world. Aimed at young readers, the book explains the science behind climate change in clear and engaging language, beginning with what climate change is and how Earth's climate has naturally shifted over time. It examines the rapid changes occurring today—rising global temperatures, greenhouse gases, and their human causes—while presenting historical context through Climate Change Through the Ages. The book explores real-world consequences such as extreme weather events, heat waves, wildfires, famine, and sea-level rise, encouraging readers to understand both the science and the stakes. Chapters like Is It Real? and Politics also acknowledge skepticism and the complex debates surrounding climate policy. Ultimately, the book urges awareness and action, highlighting how today’s choices will shape the planet’s future. This well-structured narrative educates while empowering readers to become informed stewards of the Earth.
