21st Century Debates: Climate Change
What is climate and how can climate change affect our lives? From floods
and droughts to the spread of malaria, food shortage and sea-level rises,
Climate Change looks at what scientists have discovered in the last fifty

in climate are a result of human activities or if they are the result
of a natural longterm cycle. Opposing viewpoints are given throughout
to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.
