Earth's climate has changed a number of times in the past due to natural changes in the Earth's environment. But the change in climate occurring at the present time is not natural. It is a result of the actions of people and it is happening at a very fast rate. Climate Change looks at the causes and effects of climate change on human life, nature and the Earth's geography. It celebrates the youth climate change movement and highlights the small changes everyone can do, today, to help slow and halt the progression of climate change.
