What is the evidence for climate change? How are cows contributing to global warming? Why does volcanic activity cool Earth? The 'Why Science Matters' series demonstrates how the science we learn at school is important in every aspect of our everyday lives. Using case studies and investigations, the series describes the development of science and technologies that can improve our lives – or lead to new scientific challenges and controversies. In 'Predicting the Effects of Climate Change', we find out how climate change is happening because of human activity and how drastic and urgent action is needed to tackle it. We learn how the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is causing global warming and how the changing climate is affecting wildlife, our coasts, and human health. And we learn about the steps we need to take, such as using available technologies to use energy sustainably and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
