Climate Change and Global Warming
There's now pretty much unanimous agreement in the scientific world that climate change is real, happening and caused by human activity. Ice caps are melting, which is bad news for polar bears! Find out what other young people are saying about it.
Let’s not wait. Let’s take action ourselves!
- Get involved with an organisation campaigning against climate change, like the UK Youth Climate Coalition, People and Planet or Young Friends of the Earth Scotland.

- Check out the Science museum's online Climate Science Info Zone where you can find out all about climate change through videos, flow charts and interactive games. Also have a look at the Oxfam and Friends of the Earth Scotland websites to find out more.
- Find out more on how climate change is affecting Scotland on the Scottish Natural Heritage website
Cameron Mackay, filmmaker and climate change researcher
And if all of that wasn't enough, we thought you'd find Cameron's work really interesting. His expedition work has taken him to polar, mountain and jungle environments where he has led youth groups and students. Driven by a desire to engage new audiences with stories of environmental change, he has conducted research, composed music and produced documentary films which have been shown by the BBC, at IMAX theatres and at film festivals across Europe.
