About this title

Synopsis

This climate change primer explains the history, dangers, and challenges of global warming, and explores possible solutions with which to reduce its impact. You'll learn about the causes and consequences of climate disruption; heatwaves, floods, and other extreme weather; disappearing wildlife; acid oceans; the benefits of limiting warming; sustainable farming; new clean technologies; and the circular economy. For an adult readership, the Ladybird Expert series is produced in the same iconic small hardback format pioneered by the original Ladybirds. Each book features the first new illustrations produced in the original Ladybird style for nearly 40 years. Written by the leading lights and most outstanding communicators in their fields, the Ladybird Expert books provide clear, accessible, and authoritative introductions to subjects drawn from science, history, and culture.
