A just-the-facts look at climate change—with illustrations, charts, and graphs on every page that make reality plain to see. This all-in-one guide to climate change is packed with easy-to-understand infographics on the very latest science. The climate crisis is more urgent than ever—but how many of us can confidently explain why? How much do humans contribute to global warming? What do frequent storms and floods mean for our homes, forests, coastlines, and crops? And what is happening to our oceans (beyond rising sea levels)? Free of politics or editorializing, This Is Climate Change answers these questions and more by distilling the essential data on our precious, precarious planet—into pictures!

★ International Bestseller
Praise for the German edition
"[Small Gases, Big Effects] found its way into more than 350,000 German homes. It’s been read by Merkel’s agriculture minister and at least 37 MPs in the Bundestag. It’s required reading in universities and the European Central Bank. Yet the most remarkable thing about it is that, in an age of hardening political battle lines, it is really changing minds.”—Times (UK)

Featured Reviews
Using easy to read graphics, charts, and illustrations as well as being written in a simple easy to understand language, this book puts into perspective changes over the past few centuries in our climate and the impact that man has had in those changes. Although it states that it was geared towards adults, I think this would be perfect in my middle school library for students who want to learn more about climate change and its impacts.
This book is an informative read without being overwhelming. The illustrations help explain points for easier understanding. An excellent choice for those who want to understand the effect of climate change but aren’t scientists or economists, like myself. Don’t be deceived by the book’s short length, there is a lot of information on its pages.
"This Is Climate Change" presents a breadth of climate change topics through simple graphics and concise statements. The presentation will appeal to a wide audience and is appropriate for people with all different levels of climate science knowledge.
Some images did not have good contrast, making them difficult to read. Sources are provided through a QR code instead of in the text, which I found disappointing.
Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.
