  1. Understand where we stand with respect to Climate Change

We also hope that we have presented some evidence and convinced you based on data and scientific evidence that

  1. The climate is Changing

  3. In general, the earth is getting hotter
  4. We are experience more glacier and ice melting

The next question is, are we, the humans, responsible for it? We will address this in Part 2 of the book.

In Part 3, we will dig deeper into why should we care about climate change, even if we are responsible for it.

Finally, in Part 4, we will discuss how individuals can help reduce the pace of climate change. It is possible, that climate change is going to irrevocably change the weather irrespective of our future actions. In that case, what are our options for climate resiliency. We hope to discuss these in Part 4 of the book.
