More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
This book is suitable for readers of ages 7 to 14 years. The Earth's average temperature is rising and scientists are studying the effects of this change with alarm. Sea levels around the world are changing, the number of severe storms and hurricanes each year is increasing, and the landscape is changing due to rapid desertification and crop loss. "Global Warming Alert" offers a thoughtful look at how the way we live is affecting the planet. Topics include: the Greenhouse Effect: how greenhouse gases are produced and trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuels in our homes and automobiles; climate change and changes in long term weather patterns; how animal species are endangered by climate change; drowning islands and the loss of coastal living space; the history of Earth's climate and the climate system; and, what we can do to reverse climate change.

An invaluable introduction to a very serious issue affecting the planet's immediate and long-term future
15 Jun 2008
Format:Library Binding
Global Warming Alert! is a timely title in the "Disaster Alert!" series intended for young adults ages 7-14. Today, the Earth's average temperature is rising, sea levels worldwide are shifting, and increased desertification and crop loss is prompting humanitarian crises. Global Warming Alert! examines the perilous effects of modern technology on the planet as a whole. Chapters cover the "Greenhouse Effect", in which the consumption of fossil fuels in homes and automobiles produce greenhouse gases that become trapped in the Earth's atmosphere; animal species whose survival is endangered because of climate change; islands that are drowning and the loss of coastal living space; what ordinary people can do to reverse climate change; and much more. An invaluable introduction to a very serious issue affecting the planet's immediate and long-term future, highly recommended especially for public and school library collections.
