Description
As hurricanes, droughts, floods, and wildfires are increasing in regularity and intensity, climate change can no longer be ignored. Melting permafrost, forest dieback, ocean acidification, and other processes are creating positive feedback loops which could, if not aggressively and quickly addressed, spiral out of control and take global warming past the point of no return. Hothouse Earth examines how science, politics, and social justice must all be part of the equation to counteract climate change.

Engaging stories and real stories of activism. Helpful, relevant, and accurate information about climate change. Sometimes, the wording is a little dense. However, it is overall readable and contains related color photographs. Recommended for libraries where environmental movements are a popular topic and any library where middle and high schoolers are patrons.
Kara S, Educator
This is the perfect book on climate change for Young Adults. Specifically middle school to lower high school. The book breaks down climate change vs global warming as well as factors. It also highlights a variety of Climate Change “Heroes” and different positive actions taken. I would definitely use parts of this text in my classroom and allow students to read the whole thing on their own.
