Product Description
Every young person who cares about preserving the planet needs to know what’s inside this book — and follow the authors’ call to action.
First published for an adult readership, THE WEATHER MAKERS received critical kudos for its solid science and powerful message. Now this accessible new edition speaks directly to young adults, offering a clear look at the history of climate change, how it will unfold over the next
century, and what we can do to prevent a cataclysmic future. Here is an immediate and hard-hitting look backward — and forward — in climate history, bolstered by models and projections of current data. It includes interviews with people whose livelihoods have been directly affected by climate change, as well as individuals who make new technology and renewable resources a part of daily life. Newly featured are twenty-five practical tips that give readers the tools for living a greener lifestyle — at home, in school, in the community, and ultimately, on Earth.

WE ARE THE WEATHER MAKERS is a great book for pre-teens and teens to learn about our climate and how it is changing.
Starting out with how the carbon cycle works and how to learn to offset your carbon footprint, to sustainable energy sources such as the sun and wind power - this book covers it all.
If you want to teach your children to be responsible and help fix our ailing planet, then this book is for you.
Filled with a lot of information and examples of ways that other kids have helped make a change, it is a great tool for either the classroom or at home.
