Description
Quirky stories, interactive activities and off-the-wall infographics serve to answer young brainiacs' urgent questions about the climate and weather.
What's the difference between the climate and weather? How do we know global warming is real? The answers to these and many more pressing questions are explored in this book through memorable stories, infographic data dumps, and by engineering a solar oven from a pizza box, among other hands-on activities. Aimed at young brainiacs who want to know how many cow farts make up the Earth's atmosphere, and how to whip up a homemade storm.
