From problems with agriculture to greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, scientists know why Earth is heating up. But around the world, many leaders have been slow to make the changes needed to combat climate change. Many kids today are aware of the climate crisis, and this book takes them through the causes of it as well as examples—like wildfires and the melting polar ice—that show how a warmer world climate is harming Earth. Age-appropriate solutions are presented throughout the book, encouraging readers to take charge of the future of Earth in their own way.
