Boswell provides a comprehensive analysis of the increasing global temperatures and the associated heat as the foremost threat to humanity. He highlights that, on an annual basis, heat-related fatalities surpass those caused by all other natural disasters combined.

Historical depiction of the political and environmental history of about the mid-1980s to present. This is the first nonfiction I‘ve read by Rich, although in the middle of his second (Second Nature). I was aware of much of this history, but really got into this.

I could see this book used in a later elementary classroom where the book is read as a read aloud and then students choose a topic from the book that they want to complete a project and presentation on.

Nonfiction- “The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming“ is a kid-friendly book that explains the issue of climate change in a clear and engaging way.

The book accurately highlights the impact of human activities on the environment, such as the burning of fossil fuels in a kid friendly way

“I need your help to stay awesome.”

This book would make a great whole classroom lesson on the environment and how we can be environmentally friendly to keep it safe.

I thought this book was very cute and the storyline was also fun. I love the little pictures of the Earth with a face.
