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 years and the different arguments about the future. It asks whether changes in climate are a result of human activities or if they are the result of a natural long-term cycle.
Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.
