Climate change begins with good questions
Understanding starts with what children actually ask.
Why is Earth warming? Where do greenhouse gases come from? What do forests, oceans and ice have to do with it? And what can people do that genuinely makes a difference?
The Climate Classroom answers those questions in accessible language, supported by illustrations, memorable examples and hopeful real-world solutions.
Serious, calm and hopeful, it explains the science honestly without making children feel powerless.
