Oxford Bookworms Factfiles, 2009. — 52 p.‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does
anything about it,’ said the American writer Mark
Twain in 1897. More than 100 years later, everybody is
certainly talking about the weather and climate change.
From hurricanes in Brazil to floods in Bangladesh, from
heat waves in France to drought in Australia, the weather
is never out of the news.
But is anybody doing anything about it? The climate is
changing, but why? What can we do about it, and what
should we do about it? These are important questions -
and perhaps there is not a lot of time to find the answers.
Climate change is going to have an effect on the lives of
everybody in the world.
