NOTES

Technological Solutions looks to finding an answer to climate change through scientific means. Many ways to reverse climate change are introduced from the obvious reducing pollution and carbon dioxide through renewable, future energy to the fascinating idea of using screens and mirrors to partially block sunlight, from building levees to prevent floods to creating artificial clouds and growing plankton to absorb extra carbon. Facts, myths, and modern solutions are presented in clear, age-appropriate language. Readers learn what is being done to protect and live in the world of the future.

People are adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. As a result, Earth is getting warmer. Storms are becoming more severe. Animals are struggling to find food as their habitats change. Some people are working on slowing climate change so nature has time to adapt. Others want to reverse it. Climate Change lets readers investigate the science of climate change, how it affects the planet, and what people are doing and need to do to save Earth as we know it.
