Summary

'Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each of us can become part of the solution- in the decisions we make on what we buy, the amount of electricity we use, and how we live our lives.'
What do you think about global warming? Do you care enough about the Earth's future to get involved? What can we do to deal with this crisis? These and many other important questions are answered in this compelling book.
This YA edition presents facts and information on all aspects of global warming in a direct, thoughtful and compelling way, using explanatory diagrams and dramatic photos. It has been edited with a 9+ and teen readership in mind, so sections aimed specifically at adults (eg. insurance implications, investing in energy material) have been omitted.
