We Are the Weather Makers

Scientists have named the most recent geological time period the “Anthropocene" (age of humans). A majority of scientists now believe humans are altering various earth system processes—including our weather patterns.

Chapter 11 tells the story of the golden toad in the Monteverde cloud forest reserve in Costa Rica.
