Presents facts about the melting of glaciers around the world and the impact this has on the animals that live near them, in a text with a story about Peter Pika and his friends who go to the Mountain Monarch to find out what they can do about it.

Understanding climate change is increasingly important as Earth gets warmer. Wind is another side effect of Earth's changing climate and atmosphere that can be harmful. It affects crops, people's homes, and animal habitats.

Clear, accessible, often funny -- and accompanied by lively illustrations that bring the story to life -- Palm Trees at the North Pole will help young readers understand the most important issue humanity has ever faced.

"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...

"Learn more about what climate change means and how it's affecting our planet. The earth is definitely getting warmer. There's no argument about that, but who or what is the cause? And why has climate change become a political issue? Are humans at fault? Is this just a natural development? While the vast majority of scientists who study the environment agree that humans play a large part in climate change, there is a counterargument. Author Gail Herman...

"Our house is on fire--it's time to wake up to the climate crisis facing planet Earth before it's too late. This unique graphic atlas tells you everything you need to know about climate change and what we can do to turn things around. Which countries generate the highest CO2 emissions? Which coastal cities are most vulnerable to rising sea levels? What will the polar ice caps look like in 10 years' time? Which countries have successfully harnessed...

"When many people hear the term climate change, they envision a few random changes in weather patterns that will not affect the planet and humanity until the end of the current century, or even later. This view is dead wrong. Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities. Global climate change has already resulted in a wide range of impacts across every region...

"Eyewitness Climate Change explains why human activities are making the planet heat up--and how we know for sure that this is the case. The book explores the effects of the changing climate, from more frequent hurricanes and wildfires to melting ice caps and rising sea levels. It shows how scientists predict how the climate will change in the future and what actions we can all take to combat climate change"--Provided by publisher.
