- Book Synopsis
- Meet the young activists who are using their voices and minds to fight climate change. Did you know that the past five years have been the hottest ever recorded? Or that over seven million people participated in the global Climate Strike? We're facing a very real problem, but there's hope. Everyone is affected by climate change. Reading Climate Action: What Happened and What We Can Do is the perfect introduction not only to the dramatic effects of climate change, but to the solutions. Learn how our behavior and actions have led us to this point, hear from kids around the world dealing with extreme storms, wildfires, and sea level rise, and discover what scientists, youth activists, and ordinary citizens are doing to protect their communities. Divided into eight sections for easy browsing and with over fifty photographs, captions, charts, and graphs, this nonfiction book is an excellent choice to share in the classroom and for homeschooling for kids ages 6 and up. Also includes a glossary to supplement the text, author's note, and index. Climate Action is the latest of Seymour Simon's nonfiction science books. His books are regularly honored by the National Science Teacher's Association.
