Everyone is talking about global warming and climate change, but did you know…
-Since we’ve been keeping records, nineteen of the twenty hottest years have been since 1980.
-There is 30 percent more carbon dioxide in the air than there was 150 years ago.
-Only a three-foot rise in sea level would swamp the Gulf Coast and every East Coast city from Boston to Miami!

This new paperback from Seymour Simon, “the dean of the [children’s science book] field,” lets us know what we can do to save our Earth for ourselves and future generations, and presents the information in an easily digestable manner. It features large full-color photographs, a glossary, index, and a list of websites for additional learning resources, all approved by experts at the Smithsonian Institution.
