Earth is surrounded by a bubble of air--the atmosphere--without which no life can survive. In the past century, however, that bubble has been negatively affected by the rise of the industrial age and the carbon and other gases that humans and machines are putting out. The gases create a "greenhouse effect" that is contributing to climate change. Inside, learn the science behind this problem and some of the ways that we can fight back! Can we save the planet? No issue is more important to the long-term health of our world than climate change. Its effects reach into every aspect of our lives. In this series, learn about the major problem areas . . . and how creative people around the world are working to solve them!
