- Description
- Inez Fung forecasts a future when Earth could look and feel a lot different than it does now. Why care about climate change? Because it affects every living thing on Earth. What if the climate began to change dramatically? What if a warmer climate caused the polar ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise? Inez Fung is a climate scientist, she investigates why climate changes happen and how we can prepare for them, using data about the planet’s land masses, oceans, and atmosphere to create computer models of Earth. Even gas and dust embedded in polar ice half a millions years ago can tell Inez about climates of the past—and give clues about Earth’s climate future.
