Climate Change
Use this page to visit sites that will tell you about climate change.
Remember to think about who has made the site. Why have they made it? Can we trust them?
When you look at other sites always think about possible bias. For example, a sugar company would probably tell you about good things for the sugar industry - jobs, energy food etc. They would probably not talk about tooth decay and obesity. What sort of climate information do you think a coal company might give?
