Review
"The author has done an excellent job of bringing a historical perspective to the topic, from the industrial age to the present time. The historical aspect of the experimental data collected on surface water, ice sheets, trees, and other factors having to do with global warming from many regions of the earth is outstanding. The author brings out well the relationship of global warming to the environment, wildlife, loss of land due to a rising sea level, gulf currents, and other features is worth reading...I recommend this book highly, as it can bring scientific literacy about global warming to many communities."

Product Description
Scientific evidence shows that the Earth is growing warmer. Since 1900, the average global temperature has increased by about one degree Fahrenheit, and this is called global warming. Scientists disagree about its cause and whether or not it is harmful. This book examines different points of view on global warming, including different perspectives on how it can be stopped--and whether it should be stopped.
