(3) 4-6 Translated by Laura Watkinson. Illustrated by Wendy Panders. This deep dive begins by discussing the difference between naturally driven climate events in Earth's past and the exponentially damaging effects of industrialization and a growing human population. The book also examines current and long-term consequences of a hotter climate on the environment, wildlife, and human society; measures to combat the threat; and resistance from climate change deniers. The mostly sober text includes some lighter touches: a breakup letter to fossil fuels ("You in particular, Oil") and the doodle-like limited-palette illustrations add humor and visual interest. Metric-only measurements may be problematic for US readers. A climate bingo game and an index are appended.
